Except when your horse starts to stray off the path you've told it to go, often you won't even notice until you're already far down that other path. Sort of a "What was I doing again?"

My mom always tells me to focus on when I start to lose focus. Great, but when do I focus on the stuff I need to fucking focus on?

Your mom is actually right. Focusing on when you lose focus is a key step in meditation. It's meant to identify intrusive thoughts and distractions, then help you train yourself to avoid losing focus in the future.
