I guess I can think of one or two things that stand out.
If I know I need to do laundry the next morning, I'll put the laundry basket in the kitchen, right in my way, so when I get up I can't miss it.
I double-check things like whether I've got my car key before locking and closing the door because I'll automatically pull it out of the ignition but not think about it or just plain forget I did it 30 seconds ago.
I'll verify I have my house key in my hand before closing the door with the knob lock set. Same as above, I do it automatically and either just don't consciously think about having done it or just plain forget 30 seconds later.
As much as I understand and have learned how to leverage hyperfocus, I'll get in that mode over something without even trying sometimes. You learn to recognize when you're getting too focused on something and stop yourself so you don't end up ignoring everything else you need to be doing.
The hyperfocus thing is a double-edged sword, because if you're intensely DISinterested in something, you can become a complete moron with regards to it. Learning to recognize this when it happens is important, so you don't fall in to the trap of berating yourself, telling yourself you're a moron/idiot/fraud/whatever, and also so you can turn it around and find a way to make that intensely disinteresting thing you must do anyway into a game (or however you choose to approach it) in your mind so you can *get it done*; bonus points for reversing the polarity of the hyperfocus in that case and becoming temporarily a genius at whatever it is.
The general thing is to recogize and realize when you're getting in your own way, and dealing with that, rather than beating yourself up for it. That's where the depression that usually associates ADD/ADHD comes from.
