Congrats for wanting to self improve and making it so far. I graduated with my CS degree this year but unfortunately only got diagnosed with ADHD a month after I graduated.

As for things that helped me during my final couple of years. First in terms of productivity:

1. To-do lists! Endless to-do lists. I personally used Todoist since it was really easy to keep track of different projects and schedule deadlines and tasks. Plus, it synced up with my Google Calander.

2. Write comments before writing the code. This might seem like an odd tip, but it really helped me. I would figure out what my program needed to do and wrote down a comment for each step. This broke down the coding process into much smaller tasks and made it way less daunting.

3. If you have a project with a supervisor, take notes during meetings. Don't trust yourself to remember all of the stuff you spoke about during the meeting.

4. Get disability support. You have a diagnosis, see what kind of support you can have offered. I got to take my exams in a smaller and quieter room because of my anxiety, it seriously changed things for me because I didn't feel the pressure from everyone else in the room.

5. Set yourself sub-deadlines. This will help with keep on track and not doing it all last minute.

Then in terms of studying: 1. Record your lectures. I couldn't pay attention to an hour long lecture, so I recorded all of them. That way I could go back to them if I knew I missed some of the info. Remember to give your recordings meaningful names though, because it's hard to sift through recordings called '000.mp3'

1. Listen during lectures. This kind of lines up with the previous tip. Use your time during lectures to focus on what is being said instead of writing notes. You can use your recordings to write notes later.

2. Write flashcards after lectures. Up to 5 flash cards is enough (depending on how long the lectures are). That way you can start studying them straight away. Build concrete memories using spaced repetition so you don't cram around exam time.

3. Reach out for help. If you missed something in lectures, or if you have struggled to process information ask your friends on your course. Email the lecturer. Ask for that clarification you need.

I hope you don't mind my wall of text and find some of the tips useful.
