Can't say it's common but you will hear it.

are these ok:
while eating rice, don't play
while studying japanese, don't watch strange videos
while eating pizza, don't talk

ご飯 in my sentence means "a meal" rather than "rice". The rest is fine.

Also, what’s the difference between すでに and もう, does these mean the same thing (and have the same naunce):
(1a) ボブはすでに出かけた
(1b) ボブはもう出かけた
(2a) もう仕事を終えた
(2b) すでに仕事を終えた

Meaning is the same. すでに is just a maturer word choice than もう.
