Default Why be in the present moment?

I find it really hard somtimes to just to stop and feel the present unless im watching tv, playing games or doing an activity. Bascially somthing thats is distracting. If your just sitting around or waiting, it is hard to enjoy the experience , cause it is plain boring and thinking about the future or past is more enjoyable.

As well, by being in the now, are we hindering our ability to multitask. For example, while driving, isnt it better to listen to the radio or talking to somone next to you.

I dont really believe by always being the now will make our lives more joyful unless we are engaging in activity. Imagine being trapped in a jail cell or waiting for dentist, it is normal for us to shift our thinking to the future or past because the present is boring.
