It's not fully automate, but I frequently find myself having to do a lot of one off shell tasks, which are not quite worth the effort of writing a bash script. While some command is running I would like to start enqueing the next command.

Technically I could write one command like this and go get a coffee:

cd dir1 && task1 && cd ../dir2 && task2 some arg && etc

But then the task would only start executing when I'm done typing all commands... I want it to start task1 right away and then tkae my time to enter the rest...

Might be worth it for you to just get better at bash. Use background jobs and "wait":

    do.sh stuff &
    wait; do-other-stuff.sh -123 &
    wait; cd ../; do-something-else.sh

It'll run the first command, when it's done it'll move on to the next one, etc. Use "jobs" to see jobs. Further reading: https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/x9644.html

Just use tmux and split your pane

I discovered ‘tsp’ last year and it worked great.

How about run-parts?
