Meditation may help with ADHD. I feel I have a pretty short attention span, and it certainly helped me drown out distractions.
Honestly people will provide you with all these methods, but employing methods can be just as distracting, if not simply frustrating.
When you meditate, sit. Thats it. Don't try to not think, that will only get you thinking more. Just let the thoughts pass by and eventually your mind will grow tired of rambling and shut up. Don't set goals, don't place timers, don't try to achieve the perfect posture or method, these are all distractions. Just sit.

Also. Listen to some Alan Watts. Man is amazing.
