Overthinking preventing me from being productive

Questions/Advice

Ok maybe it’s just me but i have an issue where i can’t work on anything stressful because my brain will jump from topic to topic. an example of this is i cannot study at home because i panick and think my room is so messy if my room is messy i can’t study. to which i start cleaning my room and start thinking well the bathroom could use some fixing up and begin that as well. Then i remember oh my god i have studying to do and try to do that again and the cycle of getting stressed and overthinking everything around me. I think i believe that fixing the other small stressors will allow me to focus but it never does. Any advice? i also am on vyvanse and adderall which can help but usually starts a panic attack if the thing im doing for is gravely important like med school applications.
