One thing at a time

It seems that we prize multitasking and being constantly busy in today's world. I find peace in doing certain things one at a time. Some things that I believe to be best left to single-taskedness are (I know I just made up a word, but it's the best word I could think of to describe what it needs to):
(in no particular order)
  • putting on socks
  • putting on underwear
  • drinking hot tea
  • showering/bathing
  • shaving
  • reading
  • writing
  • operating heavy machinery, including motor vehicles
  • making all' Alfredo sauce.
  • eating a good meal
  • having a conversation
  • walking the dog
  • playing pretend with your kid(s)
  • staring at clouds
I'm sure there's more that could be added, but that's what I've thought of.
