@Evelyn, this is a difficult situation and I feel for you, but not all hope is lost. As a side note, I suffer from enormous difficulty finding my way around and wouldn’t have  been brave enough to take a job driving like that. So good for you and shame on that company for not finding a way to help you.

Hyperfocus and motivation are a plague for us. Please bear with me while I suggest 2 things:

A book about self-coaching by Nancy Ratey,The Disorganized Mind.Your local library may have a copy or be able to get it from inter-library loan. There is also some good  information on the website:

Therapists and ADHD coaches tell us ADDers benefit from developing a routine and habits.

Stanford University behavior researcher BJ Fogg offers a one-week,  free “course” called “3 Tiny Habits.” It’s a way to embed 3 small habits into your daily life by attaching them to a habit you already have. (He explains it pretty clearly.) You sign up on the website (below) and get daily check-in emails. There is no hidden cost or catch–this is part of Dr. Fogg’s research (you can remain anonymous if you wish).
