    I work at a software engineering firm as the only UI Designer. I am a resource to three teams (four members to a team) so my work load stays extremely hectic. I do all the UI and front end work. I work on multiple products at once, and at times I feel I can't give each product my “full” attention.

    Do you find yourself building great products focusing on one at a time, or does it not matter?

      I have a short attention span, but I'm also extremely irresponsible with time. Working on one project alone usually drives me to the point of insanity where I get in too deep, and that makes for a bad project because I get into echo chamber mode. At the same time, working on more than three or four things at once starts to take its toll on my attention. Two projects simultaneously is my sweet spot.
