It's hyperfocus versus shifting focus. Hyperfocus is associated with ADHD in that it's "zoning in" versus "zoning out" in some ways. It's detrimental in that the person loses peripheral attention to things that might actually be important, oh, say, time passing, etc. (My big problem). It's a function of faulty or dysfunctional attention filters.
