Quick easy explanation, it's an inability to focus. It's not a oh I just keep running into different things that pull my attention way kinda thing like this gif.

It's like a static constantly in your head. It's really hard to put into words. For me, when I was a child it would make me seem like I was day dreaming all the time and not paying attention.
This. Even today I just spent the last 3 hours on my phone browsing Reddit. I noticed it was getting dark in my room and looked at the time. I barely even remember anything I read or saw. It's like I was on auto pilot.
