Task

Multitasking is the state of accomplishing several things at one time, or doing several jobs at once. For example, you could multitask by folding laundry while placing phone calls.
Some people say that multitasking is a more efficient way to accomplish our goals, while others believe that concentrating one's attention on one thing at a time will get more accomplished.
Jim had always prided himself on the multitasking he did during his daily commute, but the new laws about mobile phones and driving severely restricted his activities.
Deadline
A deadline is the time by which something must be accomplished, or the specific time period in which something is due. A synonym for that can be due date. If you have a deadline to meet, it means that you must accomplish a task or project before the time is up, or before the deadline.
In order to meet all my deadlines in a term, I keep a calendar of due dates on the wall next to my desk. This allows me to plan most efficiently.
