The day after I posted this thread I've felt a bit of a confidence boost with regards to overcoming my procrastination habit thanks to some of your guys' advice. I managed to spend some time reading for pleasure by changing my environment and not doing so in my room, and I managed to dedicated some 3 hours to focused music listening today, which is usually 2/3 more than I usually get on a school day. I still spent some time using social media, but I limited it to when I was idle or had a few minutes to spare whilst I waited for something. I didn't let social media soak up a lot of my time today, so that's a big improvement :)
Since this is only my 3rd week of school, we haven't been assigned any big tasks, but I still didn't really make the time to do the smaller school-related things today like organizing my shit, etc... Still after one day of trying to get rid of my procrastination habit I've felt that I've shown myself I can overcome this with some more focus and dedication.
eeereccing ^ Ciggs/ vapes / shit that you can do every couple hours to take breaks. if you get in the habit, it helps workflow a ton cause you dont burn out as quick and it's less miserable, so you dont end up psyching yrself out on starting the next thing
I get the idea of a reward system and having something to sort of unwind with for the odd 5 minutes every few hours of work. Still I think people in my situation can do a lot better than cigarettes/vapes/whatever. Coffee/tea/snacks are just healthier than resorting to cigarettes, even if cigarettes do calm you down and relax you. If you're already a smoker tho then ye by all means.

I'm super super happy for you that you're able to excel in your schoolwork thanks to Adderall! As you said though, it works differently for everybody, and I must add that it isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to those with difficulties focusing. I will certainly not be considering it as an option because my procrastination habits are a personality issue of mine, and not due to a chemical imbalance in my brain.
