It's really interesting that you feel a collection of upcoming projects is a positive, rather than a negative, and I think the reasons you give are convincing.

It's really interesting that you feel a collection of upcoming projects is a positive, rather than a negative, and I think the reasons you give are convincing. Without thinking about it carefully, I used to consider having a list of projects to work on next as both a distraction and a source of unwelcome pressure. It can be discouraging to see that list grow rather than shrink, and I was worried that pondering how fun the other projects could be took away from my focus on the "one project" I'm supposed to be working on. I'm going to try to adopt your outlook, and look upon a stable of upcoming projects as an encouragement to tie a bow in what I'm working on at a suitable point, AND an opportunity to switch when things get boring. Thanks for that.
