As a software developer I've worked to optimize our tooling to minimize this kind of waiting.
Be transparent about having ADHD and just task switch, keep a rotation of active projects and if one gets blocked just go to the next one.
Oh, I wanted to add that my company recently switched from Gmail to Outlook. Outlook is fucking miserable in terms of responsiveness and accessibility so, unless you can use a custom front end, I'd just try and steer as much discussion as possible away from email so that you ideally only need to check it once a day.
Yeah, I think of my workflow as working on a painting: it's not one coherent process, I just keep making progress on whichever bit happens to catch my attention (which keeps changing) until the whole thing is done.
