One of the facets of ADHD is the fact that people like us are easily distracted. We; it's easy for us to have our distractibility collide with our impulsive nature and to not only move away from what it is we need to be working on but to leap and bound away from it and a way to prevent this from happening is to eliminate distractions when you're trying to accomplish something. If you're at home and you have a task you need to complete, it might be helpful if you have music on in the background. It might be helpful to make you focus, but maybe having friends around or having other people around is distracting you from the task and it might be good to separate yourself to get your task completed. This can also be very true at work. It's often a difficult situation for someone with ADHD to be in when they have paperwork to complete or patient charting was one of my; one of my main issues in health care employment. It's a good idea to try and isolate yourself at work as much as possible and not be distracted by co-workers and there's nothing wrong with asking your employer for help. In fact, under; in America under the ADA act, your employer is required to give you any kind of reasonable accommodation you need to get your job done. It's not your fault you're like this. You just have this little disorder and you can make steps to manage distractions and achieve your goals.
