Take Steps To Decrease Distractibility
One symptom that can impact individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in the workplace is becoming easily distracted. According to adhdandyou.com:

Consider having a private space to yourself where you can get your work completed in a timely manner. This will limit your distractability during the day. You may also feel better throughout the day. In addition, perform one task at a time. Try to avoid muti-tasking.
Avoid The Opportunity For Procrastination
In addition to avoiding being distracted throughout the work day, another way to stay focused in the work environment with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is to avoid the opportunity for procrastination. According to adhdandyou.com:
Having a firm deadline in place can help prevent a patient from continuously delaying completion of a project. Tasks can be broken into smaller pieces, with small rewards along the way (eg, a walk to the coffee shop). The patient may also want to consider working on a team with a coworker who manages time well.
In other words, have a deadline. When you have a deadline set, you have a goal. You are more focused on the task at hand and will manage your time better. In addition, break your work down into smaller pieces. This will make your work less overwhelming. On an even further note, consider working with another co-worker to help better manage your time and complete projects in an efficient manner.
