I could be wrong, but I think the nuance of 只管 is more like single-minded focus, rather than just casually only doing one thing

I'd argue that animals are better than humans in single-minded focus, without getting caught up in some crazy trains of thought

I'm a Lutheran like the Lord intended, but I don't think He minds that I lift a little philosophy and spirituality from Zen as long as I don't treat it as a religion.
It's healthy to be calm inside.
