What do you mean by focusing on tasks for years ?
For instance does a parent get to say they focused on raising their kid for 10+ years ? Or can a accountant say they focused on keeping books straight for decades ?
Aside from that I feel what's lost in this argument is whether a specific task merited focus in the first place.
Let's say someone is watching a movie but decides after 10 min to look at TikTok instead, to then go cook some popcorn and ends up doing the laundry. Should we blame them for doing chores instead of staying focused on the meh movie in the first place ? And does getting easily distracted even matter if they're otherwise decent adults who do what's required from them to do ?
