stay focused
Keep your concentration
Stay focused is a directive to maintain attention on a task or goal without distraction.
It functions both as practical advice and gentle admonishment: Stay focused—we only have an hour left.
The phrase implies concentration is already wavering or might soon.
Self-directed, it becomes a kind of mantra: Okay, stay focused, you can do this.
