I don’t like the feel of coated strings, too slinky-feeling, so I’ll have to try clean hands and lifting. However, I understand D’Addario has come out with some new strings that are micro-coated???? I think they are called “XS” and are probably about $20 a set. I’m going to give them a try…

Hi Jeff. I have ADHD. Yes, like @alfred says, becoming hyper-focused is great. At least I am able to do that, and it helps me.
Another thing I do is choose 3 things to do each practice session. They have to be 3 (2 won’t work for me) and have to be different. But all things that are on my goal list. So if I have difficulty focusing on one, I move to another. And no matter what I wind up spending most of my time on, I know it’s one of my goals.
Finally, I do lots of self-talk. “You know, Michelle, you really want to learn XYZ. You have to focus on it. Come on, one more time…”
Maybe there’ll be more comments with tips. Find what works for you. Good luck!

Thank you @Alfred ! Yeah, he did this one on electric guitar. Started out very sotto voce with a clean tone, and then really started to shred.

Thanks, @Alfred ! I had heard that it was an old traditional song. Then I did the research on it. If you’re a rocker, you should listen to Nazareth’s version — quite different.
