James has taken on a rational amount of work in the last several months, but some of the projects that have left his hands have entered new phases that require his magic touch.

Pat has current client work as well as non-optional personal projects, and all of these need her attention now.

When you’re in this situation, you really don’t have time for things that can throw you off: unnecessary phone calls and last-minute emergencies coming in from non-work sources force you to do ruthless triage or let your day get hijacked.

In this segment, the Gifted Underachievers discuss their systems and processes for managing multiple projects and delivering excellent results without letting any plates fall. Priority sequencing, task focus, and regular reviews of your project timelines are just a few of our techniques.

Questions for Listeners:

* How do you manage multiple projects?

* What’s your creative or creative adjacent field and what are your goals?

* What are your triage protocols for incoming life-related tasks?
