Science involves concentration upon observed phenomena and, to a lesser degree, a body of models. The goal is to make good models.
Engineering is like science but heavier on the models. The goal is to make good machines.
Art is like science but lighter on the models. And some of the observed phenomena are esoteric. The goal is to make good art.
All 3 use concentration. Concentration is important.

Than why the heck do I still exist? My concentration is like the getaway driver in a bank robbery that you hired when you saw for fun that they drove absolutely at the complete limit for the hell of it and you had never seen someone drive like that, and they knew all the roads around the bank because they had spent countless nights speeding on them like a mad man with a deathwish… except when you actually do the bank robbery and get in the car, the getaway driver is still just operating under the philosophy that driving like a complete madman is fun and that is why they are doing it.
This results in an extremely long police chase, that you may or may not get a way in, but it is guranteed to be cinematic as fuck.
In terms of controlling my concentration I have mostly given up with telling lies about robbing a bank and needing to run as fast as we can to the getaway driver (that is my concentration in this metaphor if I have butchered my metaphor so badly this is confusing…) I just get a cotten laundry bag, walk out of a bank yelling gibberish back inside the doors as people look at me funny and jump in the getaway car and ride.
Sometimes the police do catch us and pull us over and are ready to arrest us for a bank robbery until they call the bank and realize that the person brought the cotten bag into the bank, turned around and ran out like they had robbed the bank when clearly they had barely stepped foot in it.
