I feel there are 2 main types: ADHD and the other type that we need to respect and be kind to. I suppose there is a gamut of sub-types in-between. Come and enter the "realm" of developers!
1. Start the day by mentally going over goals, and figuring out what I need to do.
2. Use _simple_ project management SW (like Trello, Notepad, Kanban boards) to keep track of what's going on and what's coming. The dopamine hit marking tasks "Done" is usually enough to keep me motivated.
3. Allocate time for off-task activities, like reading random interesting articles, YouTube, etc. This can be 10-15 min breaks throughout the day, and only after completing the current task. After that, actually shut down distracting apps/pages.
That's enough most of the time. If it's not...
4. Switch to a different (work-related) task for a while.
5. If really stuck, ask for help in chat. (I work remotely, so the ability to self-motivate is really important) The process of talking through a problem usually helps me focus on it.
6. If I catch myself procrastinating too much, I invoke a "boss personality". You know how we act differently around different people/situations? Those are mini personalities. I have one that tells me: "Dude, get your s--t together! People are counting on you."
7. The fear of having to look for a different job! :)
I find that developing good habits and schedules really helps me.
I don't know about "rights", but people absolutely can exert their will from beyond the grave: think of wills, estates, etc. That's a good thing - It's not the state's business to redistribute your family's assets as it sees fit.
If a person didn't make a choice, their family should have the final say... They certainly have more of a right to the deceased's remains than the state.
To me, the central issue is about choice: Who gets to make choices about my body? Choice matters. The whole point of life is to make choices.
If I don't want my kid to be vaccinated, I must let the government know. By default, they will assume I want to get my kid vaccinated. Its the same for organ donors. It is assumed that, if you are in need, you'd want other people to donate their organs if they were passed away. It is important to act quick on such, instead of waiting for an OK from family. Those who oppose it, have to opt-out of it. Still a choice. It appears your central issue isn't about choice; it is about the default you don't agree with.
Indeed, "donate". It is immoral and unethical to kill a person with a beating heart and seize organs if that person forgot one of the 1000 various opt-outs of modern society.
The discussion is about whether it should be opt-out or opt-in. Killing a person for their organs is illegal, because killing a person is illegal. Euthanasia follows a very strict protocol.
First, the lack of a public vote on this issue is troubling.
Second, it's inappropriate for a state agency to make such personal decisions on behalf of people without asking. Choice matters, and it's each individual's choice to make.
Finally, was this even necessary? Why not simply ask the family at the time of death? If there's no surviving family, THEN the state decides. Last, not first.

Not like every law in the UK gets some kind of referendum first. There are tons of laws which have been introduced which affect me, where I did not get a vote at. That's a problem with our democratic systems, and how the ruler's of one country affect the lives of others (e.g. via threat of war, diseases/epidemics, economy, and so on and so forth).
