I do this strategy, and I recommend it.
I vote we call it Yak Farming as it's designed as a way to get around the problem of Yak Shaving.
You simply build a series of inter-related and mutually beneficial but somewhat loosely coupled projects under the umbrella of one over-arching project. Because each project makes the others more valuable, if you get stuck need to do some Yak Shaving on one particular project and it's burning out your enthusiasm, you can just switch to another of the projects and make progress there which increases the value of the previous project to a point where it's now worth it to go back and finish what you were doing.
Yak Farming.
