I notice this when I am fishing.
Fishing requires a lot of patience.
It's easier in the boat where I can follow the sonar readout:)
Shore fishing is harder. Bringing a radio helps though.
I find that doing chores at home helps to break up this attention pattern.
Stuff like mowing the lawn. Just turn the computer off and get out there.
Also reading books. Books are like movies, but slower and more detailed.
