I am what in english could be more closely described as a paid intern. I am happy with my position so far, a month in, it isn't perfect, but I don't need it to be.

In my software developer internship, I am sometimes addled with tasks, that, frankly, no one else wants to do, or has little time to, instead allocating that time in more important tasks, understandably.

I understand this, and "parametrize the entire application's strings so we can adapt localization functionality to our application" is necessary.

That doesn't make it engaging, satisfying, or compelling work. (Perhaps I'm wrong?)

Now, I am not here to complain about it, as I understand it's necessary, but rather, as an intern, who struggles a bit with ADHD, what are some techniques, exercises, or any possible solutions to at the very least, make myself more engaged with the work at hand, and way, way less distracted?

I can't complain about the work, as I know I'll find similar issues along the entire length of my professional career, and I'd like to learn how to deal with it as soon as possible. It's not like I don't want to work, it's just extremely hard.

I am aware of This question and also This one, as well as This other one

These are all good resources, but I am looking something more akin the lines of:

• Answers based from experience of interns that had a similar struggle.

• Answers based from other office workers who suffer from ADHD, be it light or severe.

• Answers from seniors and experts offering solutions, or managers and the like that have dealt with people like me, or that have my issues, and what they reccomended them.

I've been checking the Stack Exchange for a while, and while new, I thought this question was, while similar to the ones linked, a bit different enough to warrant a new question. If that is not the case, I welcome feedback.

NOTE: When doing tasks that are moderately-to-highly engaging, I've developed a few mental tricks to bypass my ADHD on good days (unless it decides to be extremely rude any given day) I've taken medication before, and it's detrimental to my emotional health, so I'd like to avoid that, but I will, if I have to. I am open to mild substances, but I'd like to avoid caffeine as much as possible, as well.
