You can focus without hyperfocus, having a more moderate level of focus is healthier because it leads to a more sustainable level of concentration. I don't have ADHD so I don't have advice for that side of things but it's better to maintain focus on a more moderate level than constantly thinking about the same thing all day.

>Using my phone is inherently stimulating, while drawing isn't.
I've had this same problem but with writing, it takes more mental effort than the short-term dopamine hit of scrolling 4chan. Most of the Internet and social media is designed to drag your attention away. If you can find an activity to ground yourself in the right level of sensory stuff going on (some autists need more and others need less, I don't know what category you'd fall under) it could help. My problem is that I end up using up too much focus on stuff that I shouldn't and end up becoming mentally fatigued.
