I don't take any medication for it, but music can help, and over the years, I've gotten better at focusing by simply willing myself to do it. There are definitely a lot of days when I'll end up blankly staring at my screen for an hour while my mind runs through a bunch of unrelated information, but I'm stubborn and have been able to push through this the majority of the time.

I also try to always write down a task so I don't forget it later. For my own personal projects, I like to use Trello to organize my tasks and plan out what I need to work on for the next release.

I can definitely understand the difficulty to focus on something you're not interested in. Maybe you could try listening to a podcast or something about something you ARE interested in while working? Depends on how bad the ADD is, because for me, I would end up completely focusing on that and tuning out my actual work.

Also, if you're seriously trying to work on something and it's usually an issue for you, put your phone somewhere where you won't be constantly reaching for it.
