I like to do several things at a time.

I read from a book that "at a time" and "at one time" are of different meanings. At one time, I used to go home late. "At one time" here refers to a time in the past. But if I would like to emphasize, can I say,

"I like to do several things at ONE time. That's me. Period."

Can I?

Happy New Year to my old friends here.
