It usually happens that I have multiple different projects going on at once, and one can be referencing the other.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've done that quite often, but I've got to be quite honest... as much as you would want to only do one at a time, sometimes projects overlap and there's nothing you can do. Sometimes you to have begin writing a new project just as you're finishing off another.
Every time you do a project, you learn something new.
These days i tend to use one project I do as a kind of offshoot to the next.
It's really a drag to do the same project over and over again.
Thinking is my hobby. But sometimes you get to where you're stuck and you can't figure it out, so you just go work on another project. I always have multiple projects.
I always imagined that I would learn something each time that I would take to a new project, then I realized that each new project poses a completely different challenge.
There's real peril in trying to repeat yourself, and apply rules that applied to something else to a new project.
Juggling many projects and having all these accidental collisions that you can't predict enables a kind of comparative thinking. To focus on a single project from beginning to end is extremely difficult, not just for me, but for many people.
I usually have one project I'm focusing on but often have many other projects in the back of my mind for several years.
Every project has to stand on its own. It's a different identity within each project, and I feel like that's the way it should be.
