Focus

Sustaining attention on a chosen target, filtering distractions and impulses to keep going on hard tasks.

Focus draws on three attention networks: alerting, orienting, and executive control. It goes beyond simply sitting still. You're filtering out distracting stimuli, reducing task-switching costs, and working toward flow states where challenge and skill are balanced (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990). In our always-connected world, attention has become increasingly scarce, yet deliberate training can expand anyone's concentration capacity from minutes to hours.
