The power of single tasking

I sometimes find it difficult to focus on a single project at a time. I get pulled in so many different directions that focusing on a single task becomes my only task.

The way I get over this on most days is by breaking all of my projects into individual task and then prioritize them from most to least important. Then I prioritize the overall projects and select no more than five task to accomplish a day. This way I only get important things done. I also add a time estimate to each task so that I can choose task that I have time for.
