Don't finish one thing before you start another. instead keep a special list of things you want to do and loop between them, as you get board of one move onto the next one. As long as you are determined to get everything done. And make sure the list is short enough so that you can actually get things finished after a couple of loops.

I find this makes getting things done much more enjoyable for me, and stops me procrastinating. just make sure none of the tasks on the list are procrastination's in disguise.

And of course, rest when you need it. proper rest, not exhausting yourself thinking you're procrastinating. Just rest, then carry on.

As a person with ADHD, I can't NOT have many tasks running simultaneously, but also I never finish anything, so my list is expands and expands until I have a mental break and throw it all away.

I would not recommend.
