You can work on things in parallel - you just can't mark them as
completed. I clock in time on tasks I work on which changes TODO to
STARTED and there is no restriction (that I'm aware of) on doing this.
You can also force the task state to DONE with a triple prefix (C-u C-u
C-u C-c C-t d) which will ignore the blocking rules for this state
change.
