refocus
Sharpen concentration again
To refocus is to adjust focus again or redirect attention to something different.
A camera refocuses when the subject moves; a person refocuses when returning to a task after distraction: Let's refocus on the main issue.
The word often implies renewed concentration after losing one's way: After the scandal, the company refocused on its core mission.
