Anyone have a problem concentrating on one project?

I have like a billion domains right now and I don't know where to start.

I swear, the reason we are not all millionaires is because of this
issue...

You need to write some main goals down on paper and cross them off as you finish them. Looking at all the crossed out "things to do" will keep you motivated to keep going. Start with small things so you don't overwhelm yourself. You'll get there!

Hey 2HousePlague,

Imagine the gas in a balloon is your "workload". We assume a minimum "sustaining" pressure keeps the balloon's size and surface area constant, as the internal pressure and external pressure are in equilibrium. When you add pressure (blow a puff of air into the balloon), the change in pressure to every point inside the balloon is equal. Inside the balloon (similar to having a to-do list wtih many, many items) there are millions of molecules, each exerting identical (average) Force against the inside of the balloon. I think of my worload as this sort of system, since the goal is to grow the overall volume and size of the balloon over time... rather than to drive a pin through it -- In this way, all "projects" are equal and their combined effect is both cumulative and complementary to the other projects. In practce, on Wednesday, I am molecule 23,067,567,789. On Friday, 786,899,367,201. Etc. Does that make sense? Sorry for the chatter.

As for the pic, it's a photochop that reflects my great love of the Lord of the Flies --

Thanks. Yes, of course... prioritization simply seems to "happen", as it is governed by dynamics subordinate to the overall dynamic. I subscribe to General Systems Theory. But don't read about GST in text books! -- lol -- Just read The Chase by Italo Calvino. He taught me everything I know on the subject:

"... the relative space that surrounds me has undergone various changes: at a certain point even my pursuer moved to the right and, exploiting an advance of that line, passed a couple of cars in the central line; then I moved to the right, too; he went back into the central line and I too went back to the center, but I had to drop one car behind whereas he moved forward three. These are all things that before would have made me very uneasy, whereas now they interest me chiefly as special elements in the general system of pursuits whose properties I am trying to establish... more

Did you hear about business plan? Ignoring the full shit they give you in school you can consider the business plan just what you want to do in the next year or so.

Put the thing on paper, cut the problem in subproblems and try to solve all of them in the best order. I am not saying to go exactly as planned, but this should give you a direction.

Thank you. Good Advice!

Break it down, babe. Set a limit, like, for 45 minutes, you will work on this one project, and STOP when the time is up. Take a break, walk around, and then set another chunk of time for your next project, or to keep on trucking with the first.

45 minutes may not be long enough to get anything accomplished, so set longer chunks if you need them. the point is to break it down so you don't get overwhelmed with the totality of your workload and throw your hands up in despair, or jump from one thing to the next and never finish anything.
