It's not that you don't have attention, what your lacking is the control over your attention. This means that you have a harder time directing your attention to what is "necessary".
The result of this might be not being able to focus your attention on something, but it can show also as not being able to shift the attention away from something.
It's actually not two different sides but rather the same.
I would say for me it's that most aspects of life lack necessity and so are hard to find engaging.
