I agree.
Fishoil (Omega 3 fatty acids help focus)
Coffee
Proper Sleep
ADHD Medications (I currently take Vyvanse and I have taken in the past Adderall)
Seeing a psychologist who is has knowledge on treatment strategies of ADHD in adults
Regular exercise of some sort, even just lifting dumbells or barbells for a period of time helps my focus

I should mention that since I stopped taking my Vyvanse, I have fallen MONTHS behind. I'm going to attempt to remedy that today by refilling a prescription for it

You can try extended testing in private or semi private (disability services provide this all the time for ADHD students)

Someone to remind you of what you need to be doing and when (my T sometimes helps with this)
Thanks for this!
