If I'm training fishing, woodcutting ivy, or smithing cannonballs I find I can do other things. With the sound of the task in the background turned up, I can easily monitor the activity in-game. So, I might be physically AFK, but not so with respect to hearing the game. Good way to take a break, or sometimes do other things around the house. Sort of "quasi-afk".

I usually train skills in RuneScape in a way that gives no time for other things. I multitaske in RuneScape, so to speak. Woodcutting+fletching, agility+fletching, fishing+cooking or stuff like that. It gives better xp rates :)

Not usually no..
I like to give most of my attention to the one thing. Though usually there is a tv on in the background, that I'll glance over to it. I don't watch videos on Youtube. but sometimes.. I'll also be IMing on facebook when that certain somebody currently isn't on Runescape.

Probably the only time I am not multitasking in Runescape is when I'm doing a quest or a boss monster fight. Otherwise, I'm always doing something else in the background. I have a computer hooked up to the living room tv that I use as my DVR with windows media center. I also use it to play allot of my runescape while sitting in the recliner, lol. So quite often I'm watching the news, a tv show, or a movie while doing some activity in runescape. Usually I will just use alt-tab on the keyboard to keep switch back and forth.

In fact, when I was doing ton's of slayer in January's skill of the month, I would be doing a slayer task like Dark Beasts, with protect from melee on, and be watching a tv show, and only have to switch back to the runescape screen every few minutes to check for drops and drink another prayer dose, lol.

When im at work, if I'm not too swamped with things to do, I will multitask with runscape as well. I have mainframe computer terminal on the right side of my desk, and a PC on the left, so many times in the PC I will be doing woodcutting in runescape while doing work related tasks on the terminal, or doing work tasks on the PC and again alt-tabbing back and forth for runescape.

If I wasn't playing runescape, I'm sure I will still be multitasking with something else, like google reader feeds, or cleaning up email's.

I generally have the tv on next to my laptop at my desk with a second monitor on the other side. I'll watch whatever is most interesting while i play and have anything like aim, facebook, youtube, hulu, runewire, etc. on the second monitor lol. But I've all but run out of hulu vids to catch up on :(
