Well you're being somewhat responsible already in that you're paying your bills straight away, so yay for you.

Regarding your shopping habits, it sounds like you're acquiring more tools but not making good use of what you have. Switch to buying used things,a nd spend more time sweating over the things you bought figuring out how to use them effectively. This will probably be an emotionally painful and initially unsatisfying process. Make something with your 3d printer. Be disappointed. Make something marginally better, continue being disappointed. Repeat until one day you unexpectedly feel pleased with the results.

It takes about 3 months to shift behavior patterns, even with the help of something like Adderall, which is totally fine to use.
