By definition, you lose focus when you transition to a new project! The trick is to acknowledge that and establish a system to accommodate it. It does not matter how you do it, but using a Canvas / Whiteboard application with the visual work progression all laid out dramatically helps. The critical thing is to recap the work done in writing before you make the transition so that it is the first thing you read when you get back. In teams, each member must write these notes to self and others. This note-taking could and should be done at the application level as well. For example, working with 3ds Max, I also write notes inside Pulze Scene Manager per each scene since this is where the work is being done.

Prioritize Tasks: Rank tasks by importance and urgency to tackle high-priority items first. Use Project Management Tools: Tools like Trello or Asana help organize tasks and deadlines visually. Batch Similar Tasks: Group similar work, like modeling or texturing, to maintain focus and efficiency. Automate Repetitive Work: Use scripts or tools to automate repetitive tasks and save time. Regularly Review Progress: Frequently assess your work to ensure you're on track and adjust plans as needed.

My opinion changes from the original post, but I would advise against doing multiple project at the same time as a freelancer. For a company its totally different but. Mental space could rapidly get overflowing. I would advise finishing one project and switching to another one. If you have a team, you should assign team members depending on their strengths and preferences

Focus is a luxury. Juggling multiple projects is a reality. The best way to adapt is learning how to focus faster. Here’s a couple of tips that help me: 1. Leave your work in the middle of a task so that it’s easy to jump back in next time you work. 2. Constantly prioritize and appraise your progress against your deadline. Make adjustments and cut features as you go.

To stay focused on multiple 3D projects, try these strategies: **Set Clear Milestones:** Define specific milestones for each project to track progress and provide structure. - **Designated Workspaces:** Use separate workspaces for each project to help mentally compartmentalize tasks. **Schedule Regular Breaks:** Take short breaks between sessions to reset attention and prevent burnout. **Additional Tips:** **Time Blocking:** Allocate specific times for each project to minimize task-switching. **Prioritize Tasks:** Use a priority matrix to focus on the most critical tasks. **To-Do Lists:** Keep detailed lists to manage tasks and deadlines effectively. These approaches help maintain focus and organization across multiple projects.
