Currently, I’m juggling four projects at work. I prefer juggling assignments like this. It’s keeps my thinking fresh. It keeps me from being bored. If you’re in a position where you’re multitasking, here’s a little tip: Give yourself mini-deadlines.
- Two hours concepting on project 1.
- An hour writing headlines for project 2.
- Two hours re-working the scripts for project 3.
It doesn’t matter what time limits you give each project. It doesn’t matter how often you revisit a project within the day. But if you’ve got a lot to do, give yourself a structure, pressure, and a target. It’s a lot better than working until your brain’s fried on one project and then trying to switch to another when your mental energy’s spent.
