To me this makes more sense in conjunction with hyperfocus.

I find it hard to focus on things unless I'm hyperfocused, partly because I'm distracted by the thing I'm hyperfocused on.

I also tend to always be hyperfocused on one thing at a time for a while and then switch over to a new thing.

Things that I may not like or want to do kind of melt away when I'm hyperfocused on something, and feel like they're amplified when I'm not.
