Cooking and talking is multitasking if you make an elaborate dish requiring skill and focus. It isn't otherwise.

Listening and jogging isn't, unless you struggle with some serious mobility impediment.

Sitting in a meeting is very rarely a cognitively challenging task as well.

Sure sitting alone is not, but what about listening and taking notes?

You still are focused on one context only. Maybe if you have dyslexia and have to focus on the writing.
