just stop watching porn, browsing 4chan, using social media, watching videos, watching anime, playing video games, watching movies, watching tv shows.

have a study area away from your usual area and distractions
take a walk or a nap when you are too distracted
for me i walk to the local library bringing with me my study laptop/books/etc, i blast some bossa nova music, buy a cup of coffee and study

That's not ADHD you're just lacking the motivation. What is your passion for learning chemistry or goal? Do you want to synthesize something? Do you like to grow colorful crystals? If you're just trying to learn it for the sake of learning then your brain thinks you're retarded and takes control

Interesting concept. Like a filter.

It's true it's nice to learn and apply. If you can't apply that learning. Like you say, it's a missed opportunity to extent that joy further. The brain then says, if you can't apply it, learn something that can be applied. And pulls you away with distractions that are obviously distractions to the person.

The brain's way of pathfinding for paths that go further. Dead ends aren't fun. I say fun, because this regards ADHD.

I have the same issue but it is usually fixed by starting the day schedule with learning. If you play some games and watch some youtube your brain turns to mush for the rest of the day and you won't be able to learn shit.
You need to do the following:
1) Wake up early, sleep at most 8 hours, better if it's lower, like 6 or 7.
2). immidately stand up out of bed, dont lie there
3). drink some water, eat some snack
4). immidiately start learning
Youll be surprised how much more IQ you will suddenly get out of nowhere
