For me, maintaining focus is about planning. I found that taking one afternoon a week (usually Tuesdays for some reason), removing all distractions and simply thinking about my big picture goals and what I need to do to get there solves a number of issues - including maintaining focus on multiple projects. This gives me time to step back and think about the big picture. I don't often get caught up in the small stuff anymore and giving myself time to step out of the day-to-day race lets me see things a little more clearly. Usually, what happens is that I find myself pushing back the "multiple projects" that don't contribute to my larger goals. At the same time, I've noticed that I can see where smaller projects should combine and will eventually work alongside my big lofty plans to take over the world. It's a simple thing, but stepping back regularly for an afternoon once a week is one of the most productive things I do and one of the best ways I have to maintain focus in my own personal flurry of activity.
