A big issue with things like “while x is boiling, chop the vegetables.” is that they depend on the number of people you're cooking for - I've had a bad experience with recipes where I do that when I do the same thing for twice as many people; because it takes twice as much chopping and suddenly the other stuff has been in the heat for far too long.
