I've heard that also. They recommended exercising that "focusing" ability whenever you have a chance. Examples of focusing exercises include trying to focus on a single player in a football game for an entire play, or focusing on a single instrument when listening to music (my dad sings the trombone part), or paying attention only to the person in front of you at a party. Not recommended while driving, since it's important to take in all input, but it can be a great exercise while you're waiting in line -- try to watch only one clerk, or listen only to the person behind you in line.
