Everyone is getting pulled in different directions, and with the advent of technology it seems like our time and attention is getting pulled even more.
It pays dividends to focus on one item at a time without distractions. If you're doing your taxes, I wouldn't suggest watching a movie at the same time as well as washing dishes and playing your meals for the next week. Even if you do one thing for an hour and take a small break, that's fine as long as you're doing just one thing at a time.
Also, multi-tasking and doing it well is a myth. Trust me, there is research to back it up. I won't link to any studies here. If you don't believe me, look for yourself.
Learn what is important to you and put those things on your calendar. Because if you don't control your time, someone else will.
