Hi Shaun, It sounds to me you are describing attention deficit disorder better known as A.D.D. In order to program anything let alone games you have to be able to sit down and spend more time than 30 minutes on it without becoming distracted. If you can't stay focused on a project more than 30 minutes there is no way you will ever get anything productive done. There were days at the height of game development where I sat down and worked for four hours straight without taking a break. Granted that was before my personal health issues came up, but the point here is that programming games and other software requires quite a commitment above and beyond five minutes here and there when a person feels like it.
Cheers!
