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.

Uni-tasker

An object with one function, ideally, designed to be extremely good at what it does. A waffle iron, for example, can only be used to make waffles, but it tends to make waffles extremely effectively, justifying its existence as a uni-tasker. Objects as varied as saddles to soap dishes or rice cookers can be considered uni-taskers.

The only uni-tasker allowed in your kitchen is a fire extinguisher.

unitasking

To do one thing at a time. The opposite of multitasking.

Mike loved unitasking despite never meeting his targets because of it. Each time someone talked to him he had to switch off his computer in case he would multitask by accident.

Unitasking

What mothers, sales clerks and admin assistants have absolutely no possibility of ever trying. Ever.

Emma: Can you hold on a sec please, I'm trying to concentrate on this email to the president you asked me to compose.

Emma's boss: What? You think I pay you to sit around unitasking?!? I want all eight of these things done right now! Yesterday, in fact!
