Uni-tasking

Lately, I find myself seeking any occasion to uni-task.  When using the toilet bathroom,  I am planning menus, budgets, and wardrobes.... while also playing with a baby or petting our unfortunate dog, trimming my scaly & cloven hooves with a misappropriated implement, OR wiping down the sink.  AND, if not for stop lights, when would I "wash my face"(with the barely moist recycled baby wipe), pluck my eyebrows, file my nails, apply mascara and lip balm?
PLEASE NOTE:  In real life, I don't think I use the word "toilet"(unless in reference to not cleaning it.)  I needed to clearly indicate the extent of my multitasking dilemma.
As I was trying to say.........My near constant state of mentally managing shallow and repetitive tasks perpetuates my fatigue and dis-satisfaction.  However, now acquainted with the term "uni-tasking", I intend to do more of it.
Uh-oh, gotta go:  Phone ringing, 1 baby crying, 1 poopy diaper, unpaid bills, unwalked dog, uncooked dinner, unshaved beaver, un-sexed husband.

Great is my need to sit and listen to the Eagles song Learn To Be Still . 

Occasionally, when playing with my (little)boys I set a timer and commit to thinking only of whatever it is that we are doing, until I am released by the beep, that I find otherwise vexing. It is near impossible for me to naturally remain present even in times of fun.
Here is what AJ Jacobs has to say of multi/uni-tasking, "I’ve come to believe multitasking isn’t just a minor problem, it’s the Eleventh plague."   The Guinea Pig Diaries:  What a fun and equally thought provoking book. Clever, genuine, and self deprecating AJ Jacobs will make you laugh as much as think if you are able and allowed settle down and read between blog hopping, twittering, Facebooking, and texting. Oh...and raising children.
