Do you guys/ girls think it is better to focus on more than one task at a time or focus soley on one until it is finished?

Say I have 4 goals or projects in mind. Learning a skill, writing, making videos, Getting a certificate or degree, etc.

Have you found it better to work on all or a few of the options each day maybe so you don't get bored with one thing?

Or have you found it to be better/ more productive to pick one thing and focus 100% of your focus and energy into getting it done fast as possible?

I assume there will be people who take viewpoints of both sides so please say your answer, then write a brief story and your opinion on the topic.

Any other thoughts are welcomed :)
