Wait, I'm supposed to finish one first?

Honestly, I don't know that there's a rule that says you can only have one open project at a time. For me, I usually have about a dozen projects going at a time (just my personality), and I work on whichever I have the necessary resources and interest to work on that day. (Actual deadlines may shift priorities of course.)

And yes, I've finished multiple projects that way.

Don't be afraid to set aside a project that you're stuck on or bored with and start another. Often, something you learn in one project will get you unstuck in another.

The only time you should really be concerned is if you never actually make progress on anything, at which point you should take a hard look at your own work habits and expectations for what happens when things get difficult.

P.S. I like them all, but blue is especially nice.
