How do I fix it
fix what?
My personality
That's not a solution
you may or may not have
- adhd
- a shitty upbringing that didn't teach you discipline, long-term planning and execution
- unrealistic expectations
Easiest thing to waste your time with is to dive deep into ADHD resources (subreddits, that chick's scanner-related book, forums), as the guys that suffer shit exhibit similar symptoms (maybe). See what strategies work for them. Visit a few docs and check if they feel you've got ADHD - beware of overperscription tho.
Stop being a faggot. Saged.
I do have ADHD
self-diagnosed?
Are you sure about that
No, professionally
was the guy's profession to push you pills shilled by the hot pharma rep
and how are them legal amphetamines btw
Work on a computer without internet. The first day you'll be like a crack head going cold turkey, but a few days later and you'll be stunned how productive you can be.
Yes
I hate the pills
it's possible that
- the pills are a bad fit for you
- or you don't have adhd
- or fuck if I know
get a second opinion, look for doctors that don't have a reputation for overdiagnosing ADHD
Since you are a human being the "flitting all over the place" may just be part of that, so why not do it ? In my experience suppressing behaviour does not work very well. (1) Do the flitting and learn whats beneficial about it. (2) Direct your energy: Do something *before* working on the project where you can act out the "flitting". Perhaps go for a walk outside. After you have satisfied your need, then go work on your project.
Adderall may greatly boost your concentration. May boost your overall energy and your libido too. Because the universe thrives on irony, it also makes it harder (heh) to stay hard.
This is why I stopped
Stop believing that you need to feel like doing something in order to do it. You just need discipline.
