Ja$on, terrific post. One of the best I've seen on here in a while. Thanks.
One thing I'd add is look for projects that integrate with your other existing projects. I have a hand in a bunch of different things, and if they weren't integrated it would be impossible.
The way to make it work is to find projects you can integrate so that an hour invested in one of them also counts as fifteen minutes in another and 40 minutes in another and 10 minutes in a fourth one, and so on.
Any time a project you do yourself is taking your time and focus away from another project rather than stacking value, it's likely that you are better off doing one or the other instead of both.
