Use the & symbol in your command. This will begin the process and immediately return the command line to you, allowing you to use it for other things.
grunt w &
You can think of it as running the command in the background. The process is still connected to the terminal window, so if you close the window, the process will end.
Use ( &) around your command. This will run in the background the same as just &, however the process will not be killed when you close the terminal window.
(grunt w &)
