As someone with ADHD-PI, I've dealt with this as well. What's helped me a lot is using the GTD technique (https://hamberg.no/gtd) and making sure to add "respond to X" to my "In" list. It's not perfect and sometimes it still takes me a while to respond, but at least I eventually get to it.

My family has a unique history with the climbing gym boom of the 90s. In the early to mid 90s my dad was operating a "co-op" called "The Barn" between Madison, WI and Dodgeville, WI. It was literally a retired barn that he had built climbing walls and a small apartment for himself to live in. I guess he eventually got in trouble with the authorities or something because it had to go away (likely code related, but I'm not sure), but he and some of the members ended up founding a legitimate business that stands to this day: Boulders Climbing Gym in Madison. He ended up leaving the business around the time I was born in 1997, but was still somewhat involved for a good chunk of my childhood.
The parts about the belay test are burned into my brain as a result. I had no idea that the industry had its roots in Silicon Valley!
Never thought I'd see Boulders Climbing Gym mentioned on HN! I loved going to the downtown location as a college student and everyone I met there was so nice and helpful.
Love to see the UPL on hacker news :)
One of my first personal projects was making 2 discord bots that would have an infinite “conversation” using Markov chains. Feeding them text from Reddit produced some hilarious results.

I've been diagnosed with ADHD-PI for 1.5 years. You should focus on therapy and medication treatments from professionals (ideally those who specialize in ADHD). Outside of that, I think just learning about how our minds work differently compared to neurotypical brains and why it usually causes problems has been very helpful for me.
