Finish studying dammit!

I've noticed the same behaviour.
It doesn't occur while using the bookcase for "traditional" bookcase skills - cooking, mechanical and cleaning - but it does occur when using the education bookcase to study other skills. I've seen it happen in a house with plenty of snapdragons where low motives clearly weren't the issue. The fact that it only occurs with non-traditional bookcase skills also suggests it's not a motive issue, otherwise they'd also be doing this when studying cooking, mechanical & cleaning.
I find clicking "macro ... concentrate" allows them to continue studying from the bookcase without the ADHD behaviour. I have to catch them while they are actually reading though, sometimes they've already closed the book and then I have to wait for them to put the book away/down, pick it up again, sit down with it and open it before I try to catch them again while they are reading it.
Yeah I have a bunch of snapdragons around the house, so all the sims using it stayed full green. Come to think of it, I've only had problems with the nontraditional skills, so maybe that's it, I'll try the concentrate macro.

I'm glad you shared this, because I've had the same problem. I love to use skillinator, but it seems inefficient with the reward bookcase. I'll try "concentrate" now.

I've tracked down the cause of this ADHD issue: Apparently, stupid Maxis forgot to reclassify the new "study" actions as SKILL OBJECT actions, and instead classified them as a low-grade fun-object, which means they quickly drop from queue. The ADHD correction code has been turned on for these actions.
