Reply to comment by DownvoteDaemon in Meditation may protect older people against Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia. Researchers found meditation was superior to non-native language training on changing a global composite score and two of its subscores reflecting attention regulation and socio-emotional capacities by Wagamaga

I just started about 3 months ago.

Wanted some help and decided upon Waking Up App (no affiliation in any way).

Not diagnosed as ADD, but probably would have been if not so old (61).

I find the walking through process of the sessions helps focus.

And I go in basement in quiet space which helps.

And App is free if you don't have the means to pay for it.

I hope this study is true.

Good luck

Just an f.y.i. (and maybe a warning for other people?), I visited the site of the waking up app, you can get a 7 day free trial, after that you have to pay a subscription (it states unless you don't have the means, I don't know how to qualify for this). There is no pricing information anywhere on the website. I don't know how legit this is, but not being open about your pricing upfront seems scammy to me.

I initially got the free 7 days, But then I ended up getting 3 months for free (from my son who tried it - via en email from Waking Up).

Had a special for $ 99 for 1 year.

I don't know criteria for free either.
