For me something I WANT to understand Because it matters to me for some specific reason, whether to fix a vacuum cleaner or fentanyl overdose death problem, the interest and purpose behind the thing that needs attention is crucial. Otherwise it's like listening to background music, which often is Intentionally not requiring of attention. I understand ADHD is often found in school kids but once an adult, LIFE teaches us to choose where we NEED attention, for work, higher education, looking after children, etc

I also play for fun Sudoku Puzzles; it needs really good attention and the reward after solving a Hard New York Times Sudoku is worth feeling Goood about oneself.

So I guess whatever your life direction happens to be is important; if there is not much that in itself is not good to live an enjoyable And worthwhile life. We all need to feel that we are needed, are not superfluous. Such purpose then translates into seeking good health and alert mind to accomplish your goals. This is how it works for me, in an 8th decade old body, fit enough thank goodness, to seek my direction in life. Hope it helps you!
