Einstein seems to have said, "When I tie my shoe-laces, I put all my attention into tying them well". It sounds like him, so I believe he did. In fact, I believe that "putting all your attention" into what you are doing is the main factor for doing things well. Nowadays we see that, on the contrary, multitasking, i.e. the skill of doing multiple things at the same time, is considered a great ability and worth of admiration. It may be and it may be not. If you are ok with carrying out your tasks in a superficial way, than it's fine. But if you are looking for excellence, you cannot divide your focus into more than one endeavor at the time. You decide which way suits you best.
