Focus
Focus is the mind’s ability to stick with one thing on purpose and not get pulled away. It is what lets a person keep their attention on a task, idea, or object long enough to do something useful with it.
What focus means
To focus is to aim attention at one main thing and keep coming back to it when it drifts. It is like mentally turning down the volume on everything else so the chosen thing becomes clear and easier to understand.
How focus shows up
When someone is focused, they notice details better, remember more, and make fewer mistakes because their mental energy is not spread all over the place. Losing focus often feels like the mind jumping from thought to thought, making it harder to finish jobs, follow conversations, or enjoy an activity fully.
