Doing one thing at a time is a good habit. Do everything you do with full attention. It can become a very helpful habit. Remember the old clock makers or today’s tennis players. It doesn’t matter what you are doing.It’s how much attention you give to what you are doing.

Try it next time you cook, drive, cross the road or brush your teeth. Maybe also next time you speak to a group or audience.
