In the early phases of flight training, the instructor will have you do just one thing at a time.  For example, usually, you will just be asked to try to keep the airplane flying straight and level.  You will usually begin by looking outside at the natural horizon, maybe picking a point way out at mountain peak or some prominent thing on the ground.  You’ll simply head in that direction.  Doing one thing at a time during training is pretty easy.
