Carver might seem distracted sometimes, but her attention is never truly away from the current moment.
Carver's psychic capabilities allow her to plug into the Noosphere, the collective unconscious. This allows her to sometimes pull random tidbits of information, read intentions, and most crucially, offload portions of her mental strain to every single mind on the planet. Infinitesimally less than a drop in the bucket for everyone else, but it allows Carver to push herself for longer.
She needs to be careful, though. She can't do it for long, or else risk her personality being sucked into the collective unconscious, leaving behind an empty husk of what she was. And that's a one way trip, for now.
