How to focus on one things? I am so distracted, any tips would help

I've been encountering a frustrating pattern whenever I attempt to engage in a focused activity, like reading a book. It seems that within just a few lines of reading, my mind starts buzzing with reminders of other tasks clamoring for attention – emails to send, ideas to jot down, and various errands to tackle. It's like a constant stream of distractions vying for my attention. In fact, even as I'm writing this message to you, I found myself pulled away mid-thought to have a conversation with my wife about something entirely unrelated. It's becoming increasingly perplexing because I can't pinpoint exactly why I'm feeling so easily distracted

Even with ToDo list or app, I have to remember to put into the list, I forget.

Your hardware experiencing issues, meds will help without much efforst from your side

My only suggestion is to resist any possible temptation to use addictive stimulants for this, (unless legitimately prescribed of course, but even then they do carry risk and maybe shouldn't be the first thing you try). May seem to work at first but not worth it in the long run by far.

I found it to be immensely helpful at a certain point in my life when I had to deal with huge workloads, and I was not ready for that (too young, lack of character back then, etc.).

Regarding the part about how to organize oneself: I found the GTD model of managing projects and tasks, and practicig it over the years to be the solution I could recommend to anyone.

Remember, those things take time. Invoking changes in oneself is a matter of years, not days. But it's certainly worth it! I can't imagine leading my life the way I was doing it 15 years ago. That would not work well... Today is a different story. Let's just say it's much, much better. Good luck!

Have you ever watched any videos on adhd symptoms?

Everyone is different, but meditation is how you train yourself to increase your focus skill. but if you have adhd, you have to invert the rules of meditation.

The goal of meditation is to have your mind and body turn off. You are essentially doing literally nothing. But for an ADHD person to get there, you have to try to pay attention to a billion things at once and exhaust your brain into turning off.
