One thing that works for me is a technique called "Out of Sight, Out of Mind". This is can anything from munching on something when I'm bored when I shouldn't be, charge cables for consoles. I don't know why my brain acts threatened when the controllers are taken away, but not the cables, it's weird.
Another thing I like doing is listening to music that I can work with, this one is probably the most common thing that a lot of ADHDers do: let the voices be silenced with music, but it can depend on what music you like.
One last thing: be somewhere that is not comfortable. This doesn't have to be a cafe, it can be anywhere that isn't your own home. This could be just me being weird, but randomly doing anything from playing video games or sometimes watching YouTube videos in a public place as a introvert is the worst so. But you do have to prepare beforehand, but if it's something you like doing, your brain is being tricked in a way.

i'll have to try that sometime [well probably when i have a newer computer cuz this one is defintely really close to falling apart lol i moved my pc one time and like half the computer stopped working and one of the drives no longer works.] i think i did that before where when working on a script outdoors and i think it really helps especially if i dont have any internet to use. music helps a lot too, I usuaslly listen to podcasts that i find only sort of interesting too. you think it'd make it hard to focus on coding and all while listening to a podcast but it weirdly helps me focus quite a bit and i end up hyperfocusing for like an entire few days cuz of it, I think my brain just likes hearing chaotic background noise while working. i notice working in silence is something i cant do
