I wonder to what extent ADHD is about externalized memory. If you can’t see it, you can’t think about it, so everything is out in plain sight and they have to scan/dart around physically, and in non-home environments it looks like “distractability” (to be clear, I am not ADHD)

I might have the opposite of adhd though not in an obsessive form. My ideal is everything put away out of sight except what I am actually working with. Inbox/computer desktop/browser/physical desktop/office all at near zero. Only working materials and aesthetic mood setters out

What you described is close to my ideal and (to be clear) I am very ADHD. Reducing environmental distractors in active working areas is a critical cope; it may not extend to the entire office/etc., because peri-work areas should (IME) transparently display all the things.
