4. Work surrounded by people, I need the accountability of being observed. Go to the office more often, use Focusmate where you pair with strangers, or even open an empty video call with just yourself and have yourself on camera on one screen.
5. In general look for environments that give frequent feedback, as frequent as possible. That's why long things and big projects need to be broken down.
6. Noise cancelling headphones, repetitive music with a nice beat and no lyrics.
7. But the main that unlocked everything was the medication, without it the rest of the tips don't do much.
It is crazy how we have slowly turned into creatures who crave feedback. No matter how much we ignore, we must accept that we were trained from having a need of feedback for growth to want feedback for every little step. It can be used to our advantage as well. Thanks for pointing it out.

this but you almost certainly don't need the drugs
Get enough sleep. I need 9 hours most nights.
The way to focus is to get to work. Get better at getting to work and you will improve your focus.
Avoid mentioning any practice which involves technology.
This is just an excuse to not get to work. Good luck.
