spinning all the plates

spinning plates is a simple analogy for multitasking, everything must be maintained or it all falls apart and i think until recently I've been letting the plates hit the ground each time I see a new one i.e I have an idea and everything before is forgotten about. I keep finding things that I was working on and had completely forgotten about because something else came into my head, just recently i made a list of all the little projects i could think of to keep them in my head and keep working on them even just a wee bit on each one at a time so progress is made.
