The problem with "Read this book on study habits, leave your phone in another room while studying, use timeboxing..." isn't that it's unappealing (and a reasonably smart person should be able to figure out most of these without being told). It's that these approaches don't really work if you don't have some baseline ability to focus. And too often it comes out just as "you're stupid and lazy". For the reference, where I live we don't have ads for prescription medication. On the other hand everything tends to be diagnosed as depression and treated with antidepressants, no matter what symptoms are.
