Wow! very insightful post, thank you. I think the concept of multitasking is at times glorified, and women are usually praised for this attribute. But it divides a person's attention that they can't complete each task to its full capacity or potential. My biggest challenge is that I know I have 1 task a day that is top priority, and although I do give focus on it, I find myself throughout the day switching to other tasks simply because I feel that I am neglecting other important tasks. I mean all tasks are important, so even if I am working on the task that I have selected that day, the back of my mind is full of thoughts like,'Oh my God, you have so many other tasks to complete.' So that divides my attention even though I still physically do the task I was working on. And it's so funny how when you work from home, you notice all the things that need to be cleaned or paid attention to.
Don't beat yourself up about this, as long as you step away from the main task all together before engaging in the new task, that's fine.
Also try and work to your strengths, so if you find you are better in the mornings at certain tasks, and more productive in the afternoons and/or evenings for others, then try and keep the appropriate task to the best time of day.
Tell me about it!!! :-#

Thanks for the tips @cryptogee I agree with you on taking advantage of when we are most productive so important stuff get done first. Will definitely give this a try 💪
