hum... maybe it can fit.

About hyperfocus here is a idea

The character have hyperfocus, he can act as single-minded but don't have control on it.
The player can choose up to 3 skills to be they "hyperfocus"
Each time the player have to use one of this skills the GM can make a secret roll (don't know against what, maybe a fixed value?). If it's succeed then the character HAVE to enter in hyperfocus.
The GM can roll at times that are not the char hyperfocus (but it's a rare occasion)
If the character enter in hyperfocus, treat as single-minded for a period of time.
The char can try to leave the hyperfocus each half hour, and have to roll self control to do it (he can roll in the begging to avoid it)

Also something that is related to the "lack of willpower" or execution disorder:
The character have difficulty in getting motivated. Any task that is not interesting and have a short-term reward will suffer a -1 penalty unless the char succeeds a self control roll.
If the task is related to willpower the penalty is -2
