Trying to multi-task isn't too bad on small things, like reading the morning news and eating breakfast. But for important things it can literally be a killer - like if you try to read the morning news while driving.

Focus on doing one thing at a time and doing it well. You will get more done in the end and you are less likely to kill yourself or someone else.
