My wife has ADHD, and we've had to work for almost ten years to find something that worked well for us.
We currently use Mint, which automatically imports all of your transactions from your bank and credit cards. We have a simple budgeting system--things are either "fixed" or "general" (where fixed expenses are the same each month, everything else is general). Mint is getting merged with another service soon, but it should have similar features.
If those methods aren't working for you, you could try an envelope method. When you get paid, you split your money between different envelopes (either physical or digital) and then you don't need to worry about tracking your spending. Need groceries? Check the grocery envelope. It's easier to see what you have to work with, if that's helpful for you (my wife had some success with this, but we couldn't practically do it with cash and the digital option felt too abstract for her).
Best of luck!
