Short YouTube advice clip by Hadar Shemesh ("Don't make this mistake when practicing") warning against multitasking during learning. She recommends focusing on one specific element (e.g., vocabulary) in a given practice time slot, practicing only a small number of items deeply rather than trying to learn many things at once.

This is a big mistake because when you multitask and when you try to learn a bunch of things, your brain is not working as effectively. Don't try to learn five, six different things, not even two different things when you are practicing in a given time slot during the day. So if you want to focus on vocabulary, great. Practice your vocabulary. Learn one word, two words, not too many, but really, like, it's really important to focus on one thing.
