Look up classic ADHD coping mechanisms. Others have mentioned some in this thread like studying with someone (body doubling) or enforcing a schedule. One big reason procrastination works is that the stress/adrenaline acts like a stimulant that is one of the normal medications for ADHD that helps you focus.
One other suggestion is to study when well rested (first or second thing in the morning). ADHD symptoms can be exacerbated by being tired.
Studying first thing it the morning is what works for me.
I get up early, study/work for a few hours, and then go about my day. If I do something else first any chance at studying evaporates (unless of course there’s the looming deadline).

Wouldn’t it be cool if we could somehow keep a moving target to initiate the “almost too late” panic that will finally cause some shit to get done.
Everything is always due in the morning or something
Yes, and honestly that’s how I coped for a long time. It leads to stress and burnout and major crashing. Not a good long term solution.
