what most people truly do when they say they are multi-tasking. Mentally setting up a list of tasks to do in rapid sucession to get a multitude of tasks done in a short period of time.
"Oh my gosh, I've got to address this envelope, put the clothes in the dryer, check on the spaghetti cooking, and make sure to TiVo my shows."
"Better start mini-tasking."
"Better start mini-tasking."
