Tunnel vision is a behavioral tendency where an individual focuses single-mindedly on one priority while neglecting others. It typically manifests during crisis situations, fostering survival by honing focus on immediate threats. However, prolonged exposure to crises can make this a habitual response, disrupting everyday information processing and sidelining important priorities. According to Stephen Covey’s bestseller, people often neglect significant but non-urgent priorities, a pattern this article dubs ‘mental tunnel vision’.
