How to use "Absent-minded" in context?
people
Absent-mindedness is a neurological condition characterized by difficulties sustaining and maintaining focused attention. It can affect individuals of all ages and has been attributed to a number of factors including ADHD and dementia. Some people with absent-mindedness may have difficulty organizing and sustaining their thoughts, while others may experience an absent-minded "dazed" state. In either case, absent-mindedness can lead to difficulties in completing tasks and can be frustrating for those who need constant attention.
Despite the common misconception that absent-mindedness is a sign of being lazy or unproductive, people with absent-mindedness can in fact be very successful and capable.
