A short attention span is like a butterfly flitting from flower to flower, briefly pausing to admire each one before darting off to the next. Just as the butterfly struggles to settle down, a person with a short attention span finds it hard to focus, constantly chasing the next distraction. This fleeting nature makes it difficult to fully engage with any single thought or task.
