Playing heads-up while multi-tabling

Struggling playing heads-up at the end of turbos. I think I'm often content to just shove or call all-in pre-flop with medium hands because I have action on 8 other tables and it's tough to focus on heads-up play and get any reads. I don't think this is even that bad of a strategy given that it's usually no better than 10BB's deep heads-up, but I'm seeing far too many seconds lately. Suggestions?

Learn ICM for heads up or play less tables.

My suggestion would simply be when you multi-table play the same style of poker that requires a particular strategy.

Ex: Multi only HU or SNG or MTT @ the same time so your strategy doesn't need to change every table and it stays consistant through your session

SHiP IT!

Do you play continuous or in sets? Sets should be easier because you'll have fewer tables still open by the time you get to HU.

ITM play is a really important contributor to ROI - you can have a 40% ITM and an ROI ranging from ~5% to ~30% for that ITM depending on 1-3 finish distro.

If you're having trouble playing short-handed with lots of tables open, play less tables. There is a sweet spot for ROI vs hourly rate when multi-tabling, and you need to find yours.
