Thoughts != Attention
You’re supposed to focus on <task> but you keep thinking those dumb thoughts instead. That’s where the deficit comes from.
But, like, I have more of the opposite problem caused by ADHD: I focus too hard on <thing> and literally everything else stops existing. Then 10 hours later I “wake up” and realize I wasted 10 hours doing <thing> instead of just 30 minutes as intended.
attention control deficit
My surplus thoughts are sometimes very intelligent.
It’s a shame they have nothing to do with the task at hand.
But you’ll be doing a related task tomorrow, no need to write down the thoughts, though.
You’ll 100% remember.

Your ADHD Gremlin.
They call it attention deficit because you’re not paying attention to them enough and they NEED your attention!
