Focus is primarily defined as the main or central point of attention, interest, or activity
. It refers to the ability to direct and concentrate one's attention on a specific task, object, or goal, filtering out distractions to fully engage mentally with what is at hand
. This mental state of focus allows for better decision-making, problem- solving, learning, and memory. In optics and physics, focus also describes the point where rays of light, heat, or other radiation converge or from which they diverge, as well as the clarity of an image produced by a lens or optical device
. Improving focus involves managing distractions, breaking tasks into smaller parts, and practicing mindfulness, among other strategies. Factors such as mental health conditions, stress, fatigue, and lifestyle can affect one's ability to focus
. In summary, focus is both a cognitive skill involving concentrated attention and a physical concept related to optics and radiation convergence.
