Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Inattention in the broader sense is executive dysfunction. Difficulty in concentrating might be one of the main reasons for executive dysfunction. If your age is below 35 years, make sure that you are not suffering from depression. In general, executive dysfunction occurs in the elderly and head injury patients. Chronic stress might be one reason. Plan your tasks at work, go accordingly​. Take a single task, make it happen and then take another task and so on, for the initial couple of days. If you are successful with a single task, then practice multitasking. I hope I have cleared your query. Feel free to ask further questions. Thank you.
