It could be ADHD, or just your regular brain on years of "cheap dopamine" (or vitamin deficiency, or under-stimulating goals, or a dozen other things).
Exercise and periods of extreme boredom followed by some mellow stimulation (a good book, a conversation with an interesting person) never fail me.
I start with "extreme silence mode" - no music in the car, no podcasts, no checking social media. Just silently moving about my day. Tackling tasks if I can and giving myself silent rest in between.
From there, small achievements stack up and start an upwards spiral.
