What are some symptoms of distraction or lack of focus?

Especially this past year, many people have reported feeling
foggy or disconnected from their environment; or getting
lost in time. Real-life examples realizing after having been driving for a while that you don’t remember how you got to your location, or sitting in a classroom having forgotten the task at hand.
It’s important to recognize that distraction is part of our everyday lives. The difference for those struggling with these challenges is that they cannot seem to control the amount of time they remain in this foggy state or the ability to refocus their attention. In addition, their brains have difficulty prioritizing the information that is essential to completing work, such as a videoconference call, and instead might get distracted by a co-worker’s knuckle cracking or the incessant barking from the neighbor’s dog.
