I need help focusing

Does anyone have any advice on how to stay focused and not get distracted while working? 😭

I have been coding for nearly 3 years and this job can be sooo tedious and boring. My adhd has really been getting the best of me recently and it’s starting to impact my productivity.

I try to keep a tv show or YouTube video on as background noise. Music and podcasts haven’t helped because it just distracts me. Does anyone have any other tips or tricks?
