This is about praying my daily rosary. There are two options for me. First is by saying it in one stretch while doing some chores. Second is to split and say it prayerfully. Means maybe by saying one decade prayerfully (By fully concentrating on the mystery and Hail Mary) in between work. So this won’t be in one full stretch, after one decade I might be involved with work or maybe some other activities. Is that also the right way to say it?

It’s a private devotion, so you can say it any way that works best for you. My preference would be to say it prayerfully, one decade at a time, since it doesn’t have to be said all at once.
You could try both ways and see which works for you.
 
God is outside of time. You can offer one decade every ten years (decade) of your life and what God hears is a Rosary.
 
Personal devotion. You pray it as you like. Toss in extra prayers if you want. (If you get used to your own way, then say it in a group, you may have an awkward moment. ). First time I sat with a few people I was thrown off a couple times. They did a Michael the archangel prayer too.
There are times I go with Agnus Dei for the Ave’s, an ave after that, glory be, OMJ then mystery and OF.
I know of another person that just uses the rosary for “the Jesus prayer counting system”.
(It is my personal weirdness in feeling more devoted to the Lamb of God than Mary. Forum name sorta says that.)
Dominus vobiscum

The Rosary of the day can be prayed all at once or you can do one decade at a time. You can also pray all four sets of mysteries but that is pretty long of course.

Doubts about praying the Rosary come from the enemy. God loves you and he loves it when you pray the Rosary and especially when you are praying it with difficulty.

Peace.

While praying the rosary is a wonderful devotion, we are not obligated to pray it daily. There are some spiritual groups who include the rosary as a commitment, however Catholics in general are not obligated to pray it. I love the rosary and I do pray it but not every day.
