Noise canceling headphones with music that's not too distracting and not too boring (instrumental hip hop beats or DnB) work wonders for me.
This helps, but I need to be in the zone a bit first.
Yeah, the sad reality of ADHD is that traditional focus aids only help if you’re already focused on something.
YMMV. I find background music to be cripplingly distracting (though it took me a while to realize this).
It's the same for me if the music has words in it. If there aren't any words in it then it doesn't get distracting for me.
