That's an interesting way of putting it.
In my view, it's not a question of doing two things at the same time. There is no split between awareness and the activity. There is simply being aware.
Anybody else?

I thought something similar to you. I thought completing tasks mindfully was about concentrating fully on what you were doing when you were doing it instead of doing everything on autopilot with your head running at 100 M.P.H. thinking about almost everything as well as what you're doing or in some cases instead of what you're doing & giving you the running commentary & bringing up memories of the past both good & bad, telling you how things should/should have been & worrying about & planning for the future therefore rather than doing more when you're being mindful, your mind is doing less but is being more productive though slower because it's working in a more focused & efficient way than usual.
Let your creativity run free.
You can be who you want to be.
You can do what you want to do.
The only 1 you have to please is you.
