At any given time I have about 5 creative projects actively in progress. The 5 are chosen from a list of about – well, the numbers are embarrassing, let’s just say a significantly larger and ever growing list. I’m pretty certain that I’ve become an idea machine for the primary purpose of rationalising my procrastination: I can’t work on that right now, I have this new project that needs attention. I’m getting better about this though. New ideas are almost always pushed to the end of the line now. It would be great if I could work on just 1 or 2 things at a time, but my brain refuses. 5 is too many, but any less than that and I won’t work on anything at all. 5 works because no matter how much I’m doing, I’m procrastinating on something. I need to procrastinate, I don’t feel complete unless I’m neglecting something.
