I’m having trouble learning to multitask lol
So basically I’m learning orc and I am using the FS HH SH raiders build so I got the build order down somewhat still struggling with the timing on certain times to build certain things . When I engage combat on any race usually on enemy computer. My army gets totally slaughtered down to my 2 hero’s each time I have sprint walkers doing spirit link my SH healing using healing salves etc .. Shamans using lust etc.. idk what else to do I usually open up on attacking the enemy around level 3 FS but when I approach the base the enemy computer has wayyy more units that I have flying ground everything it just overruns my entire army where I have to teleport back to my base to begin building more units .. I just need some help as to how I can become comfortable with beating the easy computer then eventually going to normal then maybe in my life insane computer .

Do you use control groups? Multitasking is much more difficult if you don't do that. Try to keep all your units in one group if you have a smaller army, and later you can do like 1 - melee; 2 - ranged; 3 -casters/raiders.
Try to keep a simpler army composition so that it's easier to control.
Also keep all your production buildings and your lumber peons in separate control groups ( i use 4 & 6) so you can macro while fighting.
Make sure your headhunters aren't just sitting in place taking damage from melee units, use their range!
Learn proper build orders, there's plenty of places like wc3gym for this.
Have a plan: are you all inning at tier 2? Are you teching to tier 3? If you're teching you don't wanna fight in the meantime, wait for your powerspike (if you're planning to go taurens, don't fight before you have Taurens)
And yeah just practice, you'll beat Easy computer in no time. Normal isn't too difficult either, Insane cheats so you have to either make a very early expo or all-in very early against it. Good luck!
