Like most discussions of ADHD it’s hard for people with it to explain because the only terms they have for it are the same terms everyone else has for things, so it sounds like the sort of problems everyone has. But when you have ADHD it’s also different because you can’t “just do X” where X is something that works for people without ADHD because something that you can’t describe is different.
An (imperfect) analogy I saw recently was it’s like talking about debt between someone in a middle class household (non-ADHD people) and someone in a poverty household. Sure a lot of the problems are similar in both word and shape, but the middle class person can’t imagine “had to take out a pay day loan to buy used tires from joes tire shack” and the poverty person can’t understand “we had to replace the AC this year so we cut back our spending, and had to skip the family reunion at the beach until the credit card was paid off”.
