I'm using multitasking to mean doing two things at the same time. Parallel means doing task A until you have a forced break (e.g. you are waiting for something from someone else), working on B until you can move forward on A, then returning to A. But you're not actually doing both at once, and you don't return to B until there's another break in A. Hmm… I’m using multitasking to mean doing two things at the same time.
