Disorder of executive function, that involves underdeveloped capacity for memory, planning and in general executive function.
Basically, everyone gets distracted at times. ADHD renders recovery of distractions harder as memory is poor, so you cannot remember what you were doing before a distraction. One of the ways you can safeguard against this is by having clear plans with steps, making it easier to get back to your task. People with ADHD have brain be way underdeveloped in areas where planning is supposed to take place, so you end up having way more mistakes and lacking steps, making it harder to get back on track.
On top of this, there are self-regulatory deficiencies. It’s harder for a person with ADHD to do techniques healthy adults use to regulate their emotions for example. The process of brain being like “good job brain” after task well done is lacking as well, reducing capacity for intrinsic motivation, so person with ADHD ends up needing massive amounts of external feedback, good or bad, immediately, to keep them on track.
So in short, ADHD makes persevering on tasks really difficult, and disconnects what you want intrinsically or because of reasons that are long-term, and what you do. You may want all the things in the world but without very tight external feedback loop
