I should have been more specific here and used the word "concentrate" instead of focus or awareness. I think a person can be in-focus, or in other words be in total awareness, in a messy multi-tasking situation. Take for example, an interpreter darting back and forth. Or someone with the ability to switch from one task to another very quickly without getting off task. It's good to train yourself in being aware in those situations, because that's where heroes or other brilliant people begin to shine (such as an emergency).
One can be in focus without having to concentrate very hard on a specific thing. I think focus or awareness is the key, and concentration can be good but is not always good. For example, meditating on just a single meaningless word does not give you any clue about reality so that is not awareness, even though it is concentration.
