Ironically I could not finish this article.

Here is the one thing, that works for me, if I must read a text:

While reading I use a Text-To-Speech-Engine to read out the text at the same time. TTS-reading speed should be at least 1.5x. It should not be too easy to keep up.

I have no explanation why this works, but it does. Maybe someone else with ADHD finds it useful.

I find this helpful. It satisfies my need to be doing 2 things at once, like turning the subtitles on when watching TV/movies
You may also want to try reading with earplugs in or over ear hearing protection if you find plugs uncomfortable. I didn't realize how distracting normal background noise is until it wasn't there.
