tasks simultaneously.

the problems? Or if maybe this kind of activity harms your
health and reduces your productivity?

you are multitasking?

order into your thoughts and after that you can start to focus on the
working stuff you have to finish.

you will have no chance to avoid the interruptions, so that you
should make some notes of where you left the task you were

activities than the one you were doing, you need to
remain focused and go back to what you were
supposed to finish.
