uni-task

Situation normal. Working in accordance with one's pay rate. Also see semi-tasking.

This morning I checked my email, and then I moved some stuff around on my desk for a while, and then I checked my voice mail. I was uni-tasking.

Social-tasking

(Verb): The art of multitasking on social media.

Texting, tweeting, and instagramming; my fingers hurt from all this social-tasking.

task troll

A task troll is someone with a limited understanding of a discussion yet maintains their authority by sending opponents on spurious and pointless tasks in order to evade engagement in the discussion. An aura of superiority can be achieved with little or no substantial credibility. It may "buy time" or lead to one's opponent being exhausted after doing the heavy work.

The task troll wasn't sure how to respond in our debate so he asked me to read five particular academic papers and report back. I doubt he's read even a single paper among thousands that deal with this matter.

Equi-task

To allot equal time to several different tasks, each exclusively and in sequence. The opposite of multi-tasking, it encourages equal division of remaining time into regular chunks and assignation to each chunk a single task to be focused on exclusively. This is the opposite of the multi-tasking approach that tries to balance focus on all objectives concurrently.

"The human mind is not equipped to multi-task, but it can equi-task as though the software was written for the hardware in direct machine language."

"Equi-tasking is the load-balancing of executive time management."

disagreeable-task swap

Refers to a "buddy assistance" deal where Person A completes a yucky/difficult/boring job for Person B that he doesn't feel up to suffering through, while Person B tackles a similarly-sucky task that Person A would ordinarily have to perform himself, but also loathes the thought of doing.

I cleaned out Tiffany's garage in exchange for her vacuuming and mopping the muddy floors of my house after a boisterous post-game visit from our town's little-league baseball team... pretty fair disagreeable-task swap, if you ask me.

Shit tasking

You know those shitty tasks at work that no one likes to do? Those tasks that the new guy always gets? Well if you're new at your job, you'll most likely be shit tasking for the first week at least.

Dad: Hey kimmy, how was your first day at work?
Kimmy: It was splendid! NAH, JUST KIDDING. I've been shit tasking all day long

Dad: Just shut the f*ck up Kimmy and do your job
