So, when I have multiple projects coming up, I make a certain kind of list. It's a little more detailed than a calendar, but not an exhaustive things-to-do list. I could relate it to making myself a sort of map of my upcoming tasks so I can get a bird's-eye view of a particularly complex period of time rather than risk getting bogged down at ground level. Usually, I keep my schedule mostly in my head and I can picture it fairly well. Sometimes I have so many things going on, I need a little help to navigate through the shallows. Processing things in this way also helps me break the big projects up into manageable bits. As things go along, I will actually cross things off to show myself I'm making progress. Often I get motivated and get more done in the early sessions and get ahead of the game, sometimes even while I'm making the list--THAT is a major triumph for me :o)
