I've experienced it myself again and again. Shanel, I'm glad it can help you! This idea has certainly helped me see the possibilities in the right perspective. Flora, I did try to work on just one thing for long time, and it didn't go well. As you said, the side project helps us get back to the main project with renewed effort. I also find that some of the side projects eventually become my main projects. Ishani,
That’s right. I’ve experienced it myself again and again.

Shanel,
I’m glad it can help you! This idea has certainly helped me see the possibilities in the right perspective.

Flora,
I did try to work on just one thing for long time, and it didn’t go well. As you said, the side project helps us get back to the main project with renewed effort. I also find that some of the side projects eventually become my main projects.

You've just described my entire career. I always had side projects that complemented my main work, or in some cases contrasted with it. Some of these side projects turned into my main work and I found new side projects. The greatest benefit of these side projects is the refreshing of the mind.

The greatest benefit of these side projects is the refreshing of the mind. I always come back to my main project with renewed effort.

I hadn't ever thought about all my potential side projects as low-risk v. high-risk or low-reward v. high-reward, per se, before. But this is an excellent way to crystallize my thinking about which projects to choose and why. I have several writing projects on the back burner at all times. Trying to decide amongst them is stressful, so I pretty much let them all simmer or the heat die out under them. Now, I'll give all my choices a fresh new look with this model in mind. In fact, just sitting here and mulling it over has helped me realize that setting aside 1 of my 5 designated full work days to my lowest-risk, highest-reward project makes complete sense. I feel energized just thinking about it! Thanks, Donald, for this amazingly inspirational post! Love your assessment of potential projects!
