Since you have a diagnosis you should find some cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and medications specific for ADHD. The meds will help you focus in the short term and the CBT will help you develop cognitive and behavioral tools to help you manage your ADHD for the long term.

One cognitive approach is to become mindful and curious about what triggers your ADHD. Are there any patterns or habits? What activities do you engage in when you feel bored with a task? ADHD is executive brain dysfunction so what you really need to do is engage/train your executive function skillset and build up your resilience for longer term rewards or to devalue the reward of task switching. Some people try to build structure into their environments so that they don't have to think about it.

So learn about ADHD and learn about what you can do to help yourself. That's the ultimate reward. Your ADHD makes you naturally creative etc... which is a valued skill.

In some sense ADHDers live in the future which is great but you still have to get things done. And accomplishment is the ultimate reward.
