Matt Perman has a helpful post on the issue of multitasking and accomplishing projects. He writes,

When you start practicing GTD, you usually end up rather quickly with about 70 projects on your list. That is fairly typical and normal for most people, and it is a genuine reflection of the digital and dynamic environments that most of us find ourselves in.

Here’s the problem: Nobody can manage 70 projects at once. You shouldn’t even try to do it. Just as multitasking in the day-to-day dilutes your effectiveness, so also improper multitasking at the project level (10,000 feet) dilutes your effectiveness.
