Such an interesting topic to explore! I love hearing about how others cope with the challenges of the writing life, and multiple projects is definitely one of them. It's slightly easier if you're writing a series, because the world and main characters are the same, but it must also be hard to edit one while trying to write the next.
I love the ideas for how to focus your mind on a particular project when making the switch between them, and I use some of those techniques even if I've just had to take a few days off from writing (day job) to find my place in the world again. Creating a Pinterest board for your book is a great visual reminder, so long as you don't get sucked into the Pinterest vortex instead of writing! Creating a mood playlist of music that inspires you can help, too, though I can't listen to it while I'm writing. I just use it for warm ups. Thanks for the interesting post, Beth!
