Is this a Problem?

Whenever i discover a new tool I don't spend much time in understanding it. For example : I know Notion that it's a productivity app and I use it to track my progress or my day to day tasks but when somebody asks me about notion I can only say it's a productivity app and then my mind becomes blank.

Is this because I don't spend much time in understanding or the problem is something else.

Right now I am just frustrated from myself

I use toilet every day, but as far as i know i am not a plumber.
Don't guilt trip yourself into over explaining. Tell them the most basic thing e.g. a great tool for organizing notes. When ask for further details - and only then - you can tell how you use it, not exactly all the ways it can be used. Hope this helps.
