Ron will undoubtedly lament the lack of illustrative images in this post. I do think Multi-tasking Like a Mother should be the title of your new book though...

I find that showering while running loads of laundry and dishes in the dishwasher helps keep me from lingering too long in there.
I think the cold water is good for my pores -- or at least I hope it is.

That's a beauty treatment and housework in one. I also run a sibling dispute resolution center in the shower, but that level of multitasking can play havoc with your beauty routine.

#8 seems to be the most efficient use of time on the list.
