ETA: don’t conflate focused mode with focus of attention. Yes, by shifting your attention, you are changing your focus (what you are paying attention to) but that does not mean you are in focused mode thinking. If you’re the passenger on the drive, you can change your focus from the road to the sky to the trees and still be in diffuse mode thinking the whole time. Think of focus mode thinking as concentration, thinking hard.
