I tightly control the amount of context switching I do since you can get derailed by them, for much the same reason. I don't think I have ADHD but I certainly struggle with attention, and that is a strategy I use. Every alt+tab/window switch is an opportunity for me to lose my train of thought.


Yeah, this is the specific reason for me. As far as my trains of thought go, every alt-tab or cmd-tab is something close to a guaranteed derailment.

It sucks, because it sure looks fun to do some work in a coffee shop or whatever from time to time!
