I take Vyvanse. It helps somewhat, but I still have to force myself to avoid distractions.

At work, I make a master list each week of every single task, adding things as soon as they come to my attention so I don’t forget. Each day, I pick the priorities from the master list and make those my daily tasks.

Getting enough sleep and exercise also help.

I think that’s everybody though. If you don’t take the meds what happens, are you unable to finish a task or something? Serious question I’m not trying to put you down over it or anything. I think dealing with outside distractions is a reality of life though for everyone so don’t really understand the adhd part over that. I’m constantly checking TD all day while I work, little mental breaks like that seem to help me.

This. And one thing you have to train yourself to do, is that if you train yourself to focus, you have to get rid of the bad habits. If you are just taking meds to focus on TD.com or Youtube or r/gonewildcurvy, then you are just wasting your time and money.
