Focusing on multiple tasks at the same time is not a good idea, period. And science confirms it. A study found that only 2.5% of people can multitask effectively, proving that people are wired to be mono-taskers. When you're time tracking, you become aware that your time is being logged and that each minute needs to be assigned to a specific task. If you're multitasking, you won't be able to log your time accurately. So instead of trying to juggle responding to emails, cooking your dinner, and seeing what your friends have been up to on Instagram, stick to a single activity at a time and focus on completing it. DeskTime's auto time tracker will log time for you in the background. In the long run, you won't be tempted to multi-task and instead will grow your ability to focus on the task at hand.
