You cannot multitask, it just seems that way. Although it sometimes seems like you can do multiple things at once (for example, learning and occasionally texting), your brain is actually constantly switching tasks. Moreover, it takes quite a while to fully focus on one task again: if you stop learning for a few seconds to send a message, it takes an average of 2-3 minutes to fully concentrate again. So make sure to fully concentrate on your homework or study work while learning. Try to make your study area as distraction-free as possible: put your phone away and ensure you are in a quiet environment. Do you find it harder to keep your concentration on the task? Then take a short active break.
