I've always said that having ADHD is like being a superhero's alter ego.
You're always late, falling behind, or not mentally present, and you can never tell people the real reason.
"Um... There was a disturbance."
Except instead of the real reason being that you were saving someone, it's that your brain sucks.
This is actually a plot point in Rick Riordans work. If you're not familiar he writes YA novels about kids who are secretly demigod fighting monsters in a modern day setting and the specially mention that one of the telltale signs of demigods is ADHD for almost exactly the reasons you describe
