Go to see a mental health therapist who specializes in ADD. He/she will help you with behavioral strategies to manage your attention and focus. Once you have a list of tools and are using them, then you can stop going to see the therapist, so you need not be in longterm therapy for this. Group therapy can also be helpful (a group of all adults with ADD). I'm not saying this will cure all your problems, but it is an alternative to meds and will give you a good set of tools. Good luck.
