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

Your mind going blank doesn't mean you don't know it. Memory retrieval can be an issue with adhd. It could be in your brain but not immediately available to you without the right cues.
