Having to focus on many things at once is less of an issue with focus, and more of an issue with the brain's ability to jump back and forth between tasks. A normal brain can technically only focus on one thing at a time. People who are perceived as being able to focus on multiple things simultaneously are really just efficient at switching their focus between multiple tasks very quickly.

Perhaps thinking of it like this might help someone find ways to improve this ability within themselves?
