"Attention Deficit Trait" (ADT)
Note: Most of this is based on the work of Edward Hallowell

"//Unlike ADD, a neurological disorder that has a genetic component and can be aggravated by environmental and physical factors, ADT springs entirely from the environment. Like the traffic jam, ADT is an artifact of modern life.//" (from https://hbr.org/2005/01/overloaded-circuits-why-smart-people-underperform)
