This helps you both focus and divide your mind at the same time. Being able to multitask is important, but so is being able to focus the mind on one thing at a time to do a thorough job of your thoughts. If you can learn to selectively tune things in and out, you'll be doing pretty well. So this is a little practice that I like to encourage people to do. Do the puzzles in the paper along with the TV news in the morning.
Read the entire paper or at least skim. It will keep you connected to the community, if it is a local paper, or to the world as a whole, if it is a major metropolitain paper, like the New York Times.
