There are different schools of thought on concentration and whether its better to have one thing on your plate or several. We believe that having more than one project on the go at once, will actually increase productivity and focus, below are the reasons why.

1. It breaks down established patterns the brain creates when it focuses on one task for too long

2. You obsesses less about the little things as there is less time

3. Make less mistakes as you learn to trust your first instinct again due to having less time to focus on one point

4.  According to an article in the RSA journal, author John Kay says micro-management of goals ‘fails because complex goals are rarely best achieved by detailed planning  based on define and quantifiable objectives.’  Thus focusing on more than one project will allow you to be reactive and let the goals drive themselves.

5. Become better at time management weeding out what is and is not important. Its easy to create thousands of superfluous tasks when focusing on one project, however when your plate is full you soon realise that many of these tasks are simply unnecessary or transferable.
