Some of the Tips and strategies you can implement in the Workplace

How to deal with Memory
Use a timer/watch with alarms and set it to vibrate or beep at certain intervals during the day. The vibration/beep should remind you to get back on task and remain focused.
If you work with a computer on your desk, use your computer to set reminders.
Use your email and send yourself a message for deadlines, things to do and use projects planners to help structuring your time so projects are completed on time.
Use a PDA. You will need to discipline yourself to use the PDA by inputting the data you need to keep you organized.
Ask your supervisor/manager if you can set up a meeting with them every Monday morning to review the projects and expectations for the forthcoming week.

How to deal with Hyperactivity
Set your day to allow for time to stretch, walk around. If your work involves a lot of sitting then divided the work into chunks, rather than long stretches sat at a computer or at your desk.
Use your lunch hour to exercise. Take a walk around the building.
Ask about completing some of your work at home so that you change your environment, decreasing your restlessness.
How to deal with your Impulsiveness
Taking on extra work because you impulsively agreed to do it can be devastating.
Talk with your supervisor or manager and let them know that you may sometimes take on more than you are able to complete. At the moment it may sound great, but later, you realize that you have over-extended yourself.
Let your manager know that you would like time to think about additional projects before giving them your answer or making a further commitment.
Keep your day structured to avoid impulsively moving from task to task.

Use a coach, sessions can be held via phone and email, or in person.
Coaching is a method that many people employ to help with any issues relating to work or social environments.
