asynchronously
Without waiting around
Asynchronously means not occurring at the same time or not synchronized.
In computing, asynchronous operations proceed independently without waiting for other processes to complete: The data loads asynchronously so the page remains responsive.
More broadly, asynchronous communication—like email or text messages—doesn't require participants to be present simultaneously, unlike phone calls or meetings.
