I find 'passionately-focused' works for me - channel your energy into visible productivity, team uplift, prof dev, etc... When your energy becomes a distration to others, or aimed in a direction not supporting the workplace goals, it does show a lack of personal discipline and detracts from your coworkers' opinion.

I understand what you’re saying. But I am not talking about distracted talk. Even workplace and project focused talks. I find the culture to be very different in non engineering teams.
