I think this is the key. The two extremes. Focus hard, but then have real downtime, slow time, stillness. Time to just let your mind and thoughts wonder, to relax, walk, meditate, listen to music, clean, just sit down and do nothing for a bit. Cut out news and social media, cut out the noise, replace it with that kinda down time, real downtime, not this grey area that feels like relaxing but isn't, sometimes it feels like work and isn't too (like watching youtube, reading articles on productivity etc), this is the grey area. Avoid as much grey activities as possible. Either real work and real focus, or real downtime and stillness and as little of anything in-between as possible.
