a) keep a TO DO list, can be as simple as a todo.txt file or use an app. Prioritize things.
b) as others replied, keep work units small enough to be able to tick off multiple per day.
c) drown out that noise if in a shared office: Get some good headphones, search Youtube for ADHD music.
d) minimize distractions: Don't hesitate to mute your messenger and close your mail app for an hour or two to get that focus time.
e) Use that TO DO list to guide you through the day, amend it and re-prioritize as needed.
f) Try Pomodoro technique. (Disclaimer: I personally hardly ever use it, unless the work is truly horrible.)
g) Try to make your work day as comfortable as needed, don't be hard on yourself. Ideally you should like your way of work. If that's not possible, e.g. you have to clock out to do short breaks, look for a different employer.
h) Automate the hell out of your work day, be it with scripts, keyboard macros, inbound mail rules. Your life is too short to type and click the same things again and again.

I can simply just agree with this. Keeping a ToDo app as simple as a word doc or sth is sometimes the best way to set good habits.
Also, maybe have an excel file to not loose track of your projects. This article can be helpful as well https://review.firstround.com/ditch-your-to-do-list-and-use-...
