There are two levels to this. The Standard Environmental Fixes This is about finding the right level of stimulation vs. distraction. Many people with ADHD work better with external stimulation, like music. Small habits help, too—like taking photos of tasks to remember them. (e.g., snap a photo of the empty printer paper so you remember to order more when you scroll through your camera roll later).

The Job Fit (The more interesting intervention). Sometimes we need to figure out if the problem is the job, not the person. Some people with ADHD simply cannot tolerate meaningless or monotonous tasks. An active person, for example, probably shouldn't work as a data entry clerk. for instance a 50-year-old builder who becomes a manager because his body is too beat up for hard labor. He is suited for leadership but can't stand the administrative work. Even if he wants the job, the boredom of the paperwork makes him miserable. These are the people who often present as depressed and benefit most from medication, as it gives them the stability to tolerate boring but necessary tasks. So basically spanning everything from small techniques, to existential and professional evaluation of best fit, to medication. Everyone is different.
