Parenting hack of unknown generalizability: If I am sedentary (at desk, on phone, reading, etc.) my children will want my attention, barring lots of redirection If I am up and about (doing chores, building, etc.) my children won’t want my attention, with little/no redirection

3yo does not seem to be anywhere close to understanding that if she spends time on some things that there will be less time for other things. I know I know a lot of adults struggle with this ha ha but seriously: any tips? Or experience with when this comes online?
