Too many projects?

(1/4) > >>

ChadTower:

I carry way too many projects at once... various types, some on the house, some on games, some on software, etc etc... I need to figure out how to avoid doing this.  They all end up moving forward at a slow snail's pace and none ever get finished.

Anyone else in this boat?  I'd like to find a good way out of it and how to avoid it in the future.

CCM:
I'm in the same boat.  I don't think there is anyway out of it.

shardian:
I do the same thing. The best way to streamline is to prioritize, then just ditch some projects if you can. I sold off all of my diyprojector stuff except for one small project. I also sold off a bunch of arcade related project stuff so I would just have what is in my garage. Finally, even though it is painful, turn down new projects if you have to justify them, or have to think about them. Do you really need that junker arcade cabinet? The only exception is a free machine. Those shouldn't ever be turned down. ;D


My workplace also has put me in the same boat. All the other designers get one large project to work on. I am like the utility guy, I get handed all the small/quick projects (that never turn out to be small or quick), along with a bunch of miscellaneous changes/calculations. It gets to where I have trouble even knowing what projects I have worked on, and what exactly I have done to them.

Same here... 75 parallel projects going on all at once, just a function of my job.

Jouster:
It's simple really...just crack the time-space continuum thing and you've got it.

Happy to help.  :angel:
