My inner Scott Alexander is screaming: “Have you considered you have ADHD? Have you considered you should take ADHD medicine?”
My inner Scott Alexander does not have a medical degree, and I don’t know to what degree I endorse this as advice, but it seemed like the obvious hypothesis on the table. I know of a lot of people who have been helped by ADHD medicine.
Note that people with ADHD often have hyperfocus, and can concentrate on certain things for much longer than two hours (e.g. videogames), they just have poor attentional control.

A person who can concentrate 2 hours without pause is above average in their concentration ability and unlikely to have ADHD.

This comment seems identical to one here (by the same person).
