Deal with several things I must talk about (9)

I believe the answer is:

multitask

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'deal with several' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'i must talk about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'must'+'talk'='imusttalk'
'imusttalk' anagrammed gives 'MULTITASK'.

'things' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for multitask that I've seen before include "execute jobs simultaneously" , "Do things simultaneously" , "To perform several jobs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
