The mind is a collection of pathways optimized for what you learn, or repetitive tasks. Much like learning how to snowboard, your mind doesn't know what to do at first. Eventually it develops the "proper" neural pathways through constant practice and will remember how to snowboard, as an impulse. It could easily be that this inability to focus and see one thing through is a learned behavior.

I agree with this. I remember from my Human Biology class in High School. Every time you do something your brain makes connections. There are constant connections being made on even the littlest thing that you do. If a person continually does not even try to focus, that bad habit is learned, and hard to get out of. I am not saying every case of ADD is like this, but some of them could easily be this.
