Imagine having to work out whether you are in the now or not while you are falling over a cliff or enjoying your breakfast:)

Now is NOT the only reality, for most 'now' is the only part of reality they can affect. The point is to stay within the part of reality where you can take action (and affect things). To 'be' in other parts of reality is a waste of resources and a distraction from what you can do.
Best is to work out what is 'now' and live there always. That completely avoids the ineffective situation where you have to work out the now while in a crises situation.
As one learns/grows, their 'now' expands too.
