Every day we are thinking around us. What is the difference between focused thinking and diffused thinking?

I agree with experts answers, thanks for the invitation. 

Thank you for the invite. My expertise is restricted to English language and literature; psychology is beyond my capacity.

Focused vs. Diffused Mode

FOCUSED MODE is just what it sounds like, a concentrated, focused form of thinking. During focused mode thinking, we are sitting down and deliberately practicing something or trying to solve a problem, without distracting ourselves with anything else. 

DIFFUSED MODE is a more relaxed thinking state, one the brain settles into at resting. When you are in diffused mode, you are not intently focused on so-called deliberate practice. When using diffused mode you are casting the flashlight in a broad area, with the light not shining brightly in any one specific area.
