I'm looking for a one (or two word if necessary) expression that describes the character trait of mindfulness and a desire to stay focused on completing a purpose in a period of time. This implies the quality that one is not easily distracted but doesn't have to imply competence or effectiveness.
The context
I'm describing the core values of our company, so this word will be
listed along other words such as "Authenticity", "Curiousity", etc.
Here's some words that don't quite work
Punctual is only a partial hit, because I'm not necessarily talking about "showing up" for the starting and stopping of a task. EDIT - This word also implies a cold indifference where I'm trying to imply a respect for the limits time
Focused also only covers part of what I'm looking for, but doesn't
cover the intention to complete a task within a window.
Effective is somewhat implied, but not quite it either as I want to isolate the intention and ability to deliver the requirements on time without speaking to the quality of the work (at least for this word)

Punctual does not just mean showing up for a task. It also means completing a task on time. (Although, perhaps you would still object because something could be done punctually by accident rather than with intention.)

I could live with "punctual" as close enough except that I feel it implies a kind of cold indifference that could send the wrong message.

conscientious(ness)
It’s not clear if you want a noun (like "curiosity") or an adjective (like "punctual"), but the difference is easily addressed.
From Collins via TFD:
Conscientious (adj)
- involving or taking great care; painstaking; diligent
It implies that care is taken in everything, especially task/time management.
Task/time management aren't in the definition anywhere, but I think I get what you mean as I think common use of conscientious tends to include thinking about time.

I would recommend
purposeful.
According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary :
1: having a purpose:
such as
a: MEANINGFUL
// purposeful activities
b: INTENTIONAL
// purposeful ambiguity
2: full of determination
// was soft-spoken but purposeful
This is very close and I almost picked it. I'm way into splitting hairs here, but purposeful doesn't make me think of schedules as much as I'd like.
