• anyone else refresh r/new on this sub 50 times a day everyday for the past 5+ years

  Some music genres can help during study. For me, it was breakcore since it's basically the same drum roll on repeat for the whole song. Another choice is the app brain.fm. It costs money though. Source: 5 months ago

• What non-medication treatment/habit have you introduced that has helped?

  Quality noise-cancelling headphones and a lifetime subscription to brain.fm - it's like a magic switch that channels me straight into focus mode. Source: 5 months ago
