Where should I look (fret board / picking hand) when playing single notes on guitar? (lemmy.world)

Hi, I'm new to playing guitar. I was practicing single notes of song (All we know, intro) and it is surprisingly difficult to pick right string at right time without looking at my picking hand.

So should I learn to press right notes blindly or picking blindly as I can't look at both simultaneously.

Strumming feels much easier as I only have to look at fretboard. I tried muting strings which I'm not playing but it sounds bad.
