Also I am similar in that my thoughts can pull me in a thousand directions and I can get overwhelmed and be exhausted with nothing done. Do you have a routine and schedule? This helps me a lot personally. I can get way more done while expending the same amount of energy, because I will drain my energy daydreaming, ruminating etc. Certainly not recommending you do more than you can handle, just a thought for what works for me. You could write down a couple of short tasks at set times for example.
Some things I have a schedule for, some things not. Even if something is on the schedule, I can easily get distracted and pulled away from it. Cooking dinner last night, my pasta boiled over because I remembered I needed to put the laundry into the dryer and went to do that right in the middle of cooking. It's hard for me to stay on one task a lot of the time.
