Focus
Family: Novelty and attention
How it differs from similar states
Narrowed attention, high efficiency; I have both the task and the resources.
How this can feel in the body
A narrowed gaze, stillness in your body—everything unnecessary fades away, leaving only the task.
It usually comes up when
A clear task with a known process and the necessary resources.
What this might be pointing to
Optimal information processing; efficient action—from within.
What you can do with this
Use this state—it's rare and valuable. Protect your focus from interruptions. Notice what created it so you can recreate it.
Where the name comes from
Focus is a completely internal state—your mind is collected and fully directed toward the task.
Not quite it?
Closest by feel — the same ones the compass would show.
Two minutes, and you will see whether this is really it
