Stress?: Sometimes when we are stressed, concentrating and procrastinating is common. If you were never diagnosed with adhd as a child, unlikely now. More likely anxiety, or depression. Stress can cause mood changes try organizing yourself as you would if you had adhd by staying organized, keeping an agenda, structure your day and take 10 minute breaks for every hour of study. Therapy can help too.

Need evaluation: if you did not have symptoms of ADHD as a young child, it is unlikely to be adult ADHD. You should start with your doctor for a general check up. If nothering found,, a referral to a neuropsychologist would be warranted.
