First off there is nothing unusual about having low performance periods during the learning process.

Go up and fly VFR, trim the airplane to fly hands off.

Practise looking at you radios and instruments and at the same time remove your hand from the wheel, stick while you are doing this.

Then get back to me here on Pprune and let me know what happened.

Do not get fixitated on a " SCAN " as there is no such thing, with practice you learn to see and read many instruments at the same time.

The " scan" and all the fancy descriptions of performance instruments and control instruments is just gobbeldy gook word salading thought up by some moron looking for more buzz words to make flight training look real cool.

So you just relax, trim it out and let it fly itself for the few seconds you are wandering around the cockpit with your eyes.
