I think the old saying applys here (to much of a good thing os a bad thing) like if u stay focused in on one thing for to long ur brain probably forces u to break concentration so u can observe ur surroundings. Its more than likely a survival mechanism. If your in the forest by a river trying to catch fish its probably not a good idea to stay focused on the task at hand u might want to keep looking around for tigers and bears and wolves and alligators and all kinds of shit ancient man had to deal with during our evolution
