I think the simplest thing to do with AT THE SAME TIME directions is to write them out row by row and check off the rows as you complete them. For the raglan (sleeve) edge decrease 1st on the next row (call it row 1) and then on rows 3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19. For the neck edge, decrease on row 1 and then on rows 5,9,13,17,21...for however many rows it tells you to continue the neck decreases.
You can make a checklist like this:
row 1 dec raglan-----dec neck
row 2
row 3 dec raglan
row 4
row 5 dec raglan-----dec neck
row 6
row 7 dec raglan
row 8
row 9 dec raglan----dec neck
etc.
