Your brain can only focus on one thing at a time, like a superhero who can only fight one villain. When you try to do two things at once, your brain takes turns switching between them, and that's why it feels harder than just doing one thing.
Examples
- Eating breakfast while watching TV
- Texting while walking
- Listening to music while doing homework
