I consider these to be synonymous, but which one is more commonly understood and preferred?

I actually think discussing productivity-related terminology could be considered a fit for this community. People who like to improve their productivity are usually model/process-oriented and love to have just the right words for things in their system (like in GTD). It could be argued that for some people it actually helps them adhere to methods better when they have good well-defined terms. So that would make this question on-topic with productivity. – Vic Goldfeld Dec 14 '11 at 2:10

I think "single-task" is more understood, personally. – Dave Newton Dec 14 '11 at 4:02
