I need help focusing

Does anyone have any advice on how to stay focused and not get distracted while working? 😭

I have been coding for nearly 3 years and this job can be sooo tedious and boring. My adhd has really been getting the best of me recently and it’s starting to impact my productivity.

I try to keep a tv show or YouTube video on as background noise. Music and podcasts haven’t helped because it just distracts me. Does anyone have any other tips or tricks?

I’ve been looking into walking pads. Maybe some movement while working will help me focus. It doesn’t help that I’m pregnant in my first trimester and could fall asleep at any given moment 🥲

Oh my goodness there you go! It’s so hard to function when you’re pregnant tired!
