The assigned multitasking also takes other forms. If you're going to shower in the marina shower, you might as well do a load of laundry. If you're going on a run, take the dog and return a movie.
On an even larger scale, Tyler gave a perfect demonstration of this concept in his work today. He had to fix a cracked sewage plumbing pipe- while he was down there and the interior of the boat was upside-down and everything was uncovered, he replaced all the sewage pipe (3 total), cleaned the valves and checked the seacock- all things he had wanted to do at some point, but necessity through the tasks together in a nice, albeit stinky and grimy, project.
Unlike the trip up the mast, this project was highly productive and Tyler is now sleeping soundly knowing that at least one system is almost all new again.
I am very lucky and grateful that Tyler understands mechanical systems so well. So, I will continue to happily hand him a new beer when I'm closer to the cooler and the companionway.
