7. Practice Mindfulness
You have ADHD, so you're going to get distracted. Often, we don't even notice that email and Facebook are taking up enormous amounts of time and energy. Mindfulness is being aware of what you're doing in the present moment, and trying to correct it if you're not on course. Jot down the time you think each task should take, and set a timer when you begin. If you're not pacing well, figure out if a distraction is keeping you from your goal and shut it down.

When you notice yourself doing this, use a drag and drop"To-Do</a" solution like Google Calendar to help you re-prioritize and move unfinished tasks. Then, put a limit on the number of unfinished tasks you leave open. Make a conscious effort to start and complete tasks.

Then, set a time you'll do it and block out distractions during that time.
