Multitasking means performing many different tasks at one time, usually none of them very well. It is generally said that women are better multitaskers than men, which tricks them into taking on more work.
In many instances, obvious multitasking buys you some peace. Sit at your desk typing an email, listening to news radio, talking on the phone and finishing the Annual Company Picnic flier and no one is going to ask you to come in for Linda's birthday cake, which is fine because you think Linda is catty and you're trying to lose weight so men will be attracted you again after the hysterectomy that robbed you of your femininity even though the doctor insists it's all in your head.
