[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to think about it as doing one thing at a time. So if you have to:

1. Do a load of laundry
2. Empty the dishwasher and then put any dishes in the sink in the dishwasher
3. Take a shower and get dressed
4. Call to make an appointment

You COULD say "AHHHHH! Too many things! I'll just hide in bed all day and hope nothing falls on my head."  But! Here's the other option:

You look at each item, put them in the order you'll do them, and then start doing one after another.So if it were me and it were 8:30 a.m., I would:

1. Start the laundry
2. Take a shower and get dressed
3. Move laundry to the dryer
4. If after 9am make call for appt
5. Then do dish project

Technically since you've got laundry going while your showering that is multi-tasking. But to me, it's doing one thing at a time. [/quote]

True multi taskking would be making the phone call while unloading the dishwasher at the same time.  You could also shower after the clothes are in the dryer and grab what you need from the dryer so you aren't folding/putting away quite so many clothes. 
What you listed was just a priority list, which is fine, but not multi tasking.
