What adjective could be used to describe someone whose interests meander from one area to another?

I have a tendency to get interested in some subject (usually in math or science) and then get distracted by some other subject. I can’t be the only person like this. Is there a term that could be used to describe us, preferably non-condescending? I was thinking of the word peripatetic, which is not used very often, and I don’t know if it is ever used in a metaphorical sense. It gives a veneer of sophistication to people who have trouble staying focused.
