What is Unfocused?

Attention keeps slipping away from what you're trying to concentrate on, and it's frustrating. Multiple things are pulling at your mind at once, making it difficult to settle into deep work. Breaking tasks into very small steps and removing distractions can help regain traction.

When you might feel unfocused

Unfocused is a specific form of scattered, which itself is a type of restless. You might experience this feeling in situations where restless is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define unfocused.
