The idiom kill two birds with one stone means to achieve two things with one action. It describes efficiency and smart planning. The wording is derives from hunting with a slingshot where a well-aimed shot could kill two birds for dinner, using only one stone.

I listen to podcasts while I exercise, and kill two birds with one stone - getting fit and learning things!
