it’s something i’ve always struggled with but lately it’s getting really frustrating. i’m an artist and have just finished uni and i want to work on a bunch of art pieces and projects that i really want to do but getting myself to even try to do it is like walking knee-deep in mud and when i finally have pushed myself to start something i lose focus so quickly and end up watching youtube or something stupid and unproductive. it’s not even that i don’t want to do the work! my brain just... can’t seem to focus on it for much more than an hour. 

i’m at a loss at how i can fix/cope with this. i try to listen to podcasts to help keep me focused and they do help a bit but it’s still not great haha. 

does anyone have tips? i can’t go on any ADHD medication like adderall bc it’s basically impossible to get a prescription here in australia unless you actually have ADHD. are there any other medications that help with focus issues?

also - i am going to talk with my GP about it, but thought i should ask on here if anyone’s got any experience w this kinda stuff.

thanks!
