I really doubt you can pray the rosary and surf the net at the same time. surfing the net must take away at least some of your attention.
rosary + cleaning, on the other hand,
My wife and I pray the rosary while she makes rosaries. I have to do the counting, but that’s ok. She donates the rosaries to hospitals, churches, etc.
I think we should try to focus as much as possible on the mysteries… as we pray them. I have some difficulty, concentrating… due to my personal circumstances (Caregiver)… and as a result, I use visual aides (large pictures of each mystery) to help me focus. But… I think it’s fine to pray the Rosary, for example… while taking a walk. I sometimes do that, too. I think you can also pray while working (although, for myself… I’m certain that I wouldn’t be able to concentrate, that way).
I agree that it’s probably not a good idea to pray the Rosary while surfing the net. However, there is a good online Rosary site… link below… which I sometimes use. But the idea of the site is to help you focus on the mysteries themselves. I use it now and then. Keep a rosary near your computer, and it might come in handy.
