I don't think that's entirely correct, Ratbastid. While tending to varioius burgers, or with various patients, or tasks, you are completing a task while your brain keeps count of the time involved in another task. For instance, if a burger is cooking, and you want to toast the bun, chop some onion, flip the burger, slice some tomato, and get out the ketchup, your brain will constantly be in a situation where it evaluates every smaller task related to creating an edible burger against the time it takes to perfectly grill the burger.
I think its no different than say, a PC spooling a print job while running a macro.
