scatter brain
Easily distracted person
A scatterbrain is someone who can't seem to focus or keep track of things—forgetful, disorganized, easily distracted.
The word suggests mental energy flying off in all directions rather than staying on task: She's such a scatterbrain; she left her phone at the restaurant again.
