full attention
Undivided mental presence
Full attention is the complete focus of one's mind on something, without distraction or divided interest.
When someone gives you their full attention, they're not checking their phone or thinking about other things: I need your full attention for this.
Teachers and bosses demand it; lovers crave it.
