multitasked
Handled several things
Multitasked is the past tense of multitask, meaning to handle multiple tasks simultaneously or in rapid alternation.
The term originated in computing, where processors switch between operations, and transferred to human activity: She multitasked through the meeting, answering emails while taking notes.
Whether humans truly multitask or merely task-switch quickly remains debated.
