Double tasking

Double tasking at the best of times is not easy for a fellow, but, I have discovered that there are ways of double tasking that are very manageable. One way is by taking advantage of stuff that does itself, for example, a laundry cycle takes about one hour the same as baking a casserole or a chicken for dinner so if you fill and set up the machine and prepare the casserole and get them both started early then they will be busy doing themselves giving you an hour to do a third thing that requires more hands on like tidying up a bit or passing the vacuum. Now after an hour with three things completed, you can put laundry in the dryer (another ‘does itself’ hour)while you make some lunch for yourself and the kids (if they come home for lunch). Then after lunch you are free to fold the laundry while watching a show... oh one last thought , put on the oven timer for the supper, I do this because I get so involved that I forget the stuff that’s baking...like anything we do, we get better at it the more we do it...
