This isn’t a hack, but I try to do one thing at a time now.
If I’m cleaning the house and I’m tempted to deep clean a drawer or do some side quest that isn’t actually the thing I should be going, I’ll take note, say out loud “damnit focus, that isn’t going to help right now” and regroup.
It’s frustrating, but giving into my impulses is usually what makes shit take forever and never get done.
Also lots of caffeine and THC seems to help (?).
One of these days I’m going to try getting diagnosed for ADHD and get medicated, but making phone calls to do that and talking to someone sounds like a nightmare. That would be a truly unhinged solution for me.
