When you focus, you are able to think about only one thing for that period of time. All the while you are trying to remember everything that has to be done. You only have time to complete a task quickly before you must move on to the next one. Having your mind scattered over several tasks at once keeps you from thinking about what you are actually doing.

You can also turn on Focus from Control Center. You can also enable Time Sensitive notifications from apps, which allows apps not in your allowed list to send notifications marked as Time Sensitive.
