Parallel structure actually eliminates distraction. for example, if you say "jane went for a run, visited her sister, then hurried home to feed her dog." vs "jane runs, visited her sister, then hurrying home to feed her dog." which one is clearer? the first. you understand the sequence of events. the second one has three different tenses--present ("runs"), past ("visits"), and indicative ("hurrying").

jenny spent her spare time reading because she is never away from it.
the issue here is a reference problem. the reader isn't sure what "it" refers to, because the subject of "it" wasn't made clear.
