My #1, immutable, unyielding rule in the shop is:

"It is absolutely forbidden to start a new project until the current project
is complete."


That's interesting how people are different. Of course 35 would be too
many for me but I just spent the evening with SWMBO trying to convince
her that I need to have 3 projects at any one time. My rational is
this. If I'm in the finishing stages of a project and I'm tired of the
sanding and finishing or I just get impatient, I can go to another
project and work on that stage. By having 3 projects at any time I
will have a beginning, middle and end stage project. Right now I have
a flag display case that got the last glue up last night and needs
sanding and finishing, a jewelry box that has some rough cuts and is
just about mid way and I just started the plannign and budgeting for a
cabinet for the bathroom. When I get home tonight I can either sand
wood, cut wood, or buy wood for my next project. YMMV
