How many of you work on multiple projects at once?

I started cutting up some wood for something. I can't remember what it
was. I had put it aside, all together, and today I am cleaning up the
mess I have around here. And ran across the parts, just rough cut,
nothing to final size, no real shapes yet. If I had a skirt or
something, I could tell what it was.. but nothing.

The short term memory is killing me... I keep thinking I'll remember
how could I forget...

obviously, I'm just going to leave it as sometime I'll go oh yea, but
has that ever happened to you, where you can't remember what you were
working on?

I try not to get multiple projects of the same type going. One will
inevitably get worked on, while the others sit. Sometimes it's nice to
have a model railroad project and woodworking project going at the same
time, so I can work on the other while waiting for something to dry.

If the next step isn't necessarily obvious (are the pieces finish width
or just rough cut?), I'll write the next step down on my shop notebook.
Sometimes I'm back out there after watching a TV show, and other times
it's two or three days.
