I've been down your road. That's a bit of ADD. You need the stimulation of the excitement of the moment to get your focus. You can self-medicate with alcohol (in moderate intake will help you focus in a non-distracting environment). Not a great lifestyle choice, but occasionally it's not a bad thing. You can also try ADD meds (Concerta, Ritalin), but I went down this route, it's not a good solution because the ADD meds are stimulants and they just get your brain racing and make you exhausted at the end of the day. You can be productive though, but this is also not a great way to live. I was most productive when I was biking / running daily and experimenting with meditation. I would use my bike rides to visualize getting done what I needed to do for the day and it would bring me greater focus.
