ADHD pro tip: Use psychological warfare on yourself.
For example, in order to do long tasks, like folding laundry, I put on the Mario Hat:
The main feature of the Mario hat is that my headset does not fit over it, so when The Bees™ try to put me back in front of the screen, the headset issue forces me to remember why I put the Mario hat on, and back to the task I go
As a bonus, the Mario hat is also a very clear indicator to my housemates that business is getting done, and they have learned not to distract me when I'm wearing the "goofy-ass cosplay hat"
It's not stupid if it works.

(the website demands a log-in to see posts from this specific blog, so the title of this links to a blog that reblogged it that doesn't require a sign in gosh what a terribly normal website)
I imagine it also indicates to oneself that you're in a working mindset. In the revolution we will deliver Working Ushankas to all civilians.
When I go out in public I wear a mask not just to stop breathing in covid but also to change brain gears into covid awareness mode. When my mask is on I don't touch stuff don't have to and I don't touch my face and give people a wide berth etc. I used to wear rings and necklaces for these reasons too. Each one had a purpose and meaning. depending on what I was doing and where I was going I would wear different stuff.
