The actual symptom is called "executive dysfunction".

I wasn't sure if it was one of executive functions or if it was something other that was impaired.

Attention, both directing where you want it and stopping attention where you don't, as well as working memory and planning are what comprise executive functions.

ADHD makes all of these more difficult.
