Juggling
by Off the Red
I am bad at juggling. Not IRL w/ three balls - that's simple. Easy to learn.
I'm struggling with juggling three projects at a time. Or this time.
That is really... meh!

You start one thing. LKV. Really concentrated. Feeling good. And then the mailbing.
Ok, read the mail. Oh, maybe I should look in to that OTR-thing?
Which file was it? The inc the src the cert the fn the tools the... WTF!?
Aaagh, found it!
And ta-da, my colleagues enter the room. They should, actually, we all work in
the same room, but I get distracted. The ordinary missed high fives and freezing
handshakes all around. The Q's the A's and where was I? - returning to my screen - oh yes, the LKV!
Ok... let's go... no wait - this wasn't it! I was doing...
-What!? turning to Seb. He asked me something.
-Did you read the email?
-Yeah... did you get my text?, Aiham fills in.
-Eeeh... (fiddling desperately with my phone)... yes the email and no, or yes. Now the text!

-I'll fix it right away.

...aaaaaand coffee...

(Back in the seat) Yes! Now, where was I? Did I check my mail? Oh, one unread!
"...and it is not working...blah blah blah...check it right away?..."

My 3-year old son's voice breaks the concentrated silence: "missatche" (my text-received signal
I know it's corny, but it's allowed.)
"...did you read his mail? ...strange error when sending..."
-GAAAAAAH! I totally forgot about the Space-project.

Stop, breathe! Inhale. Exhale. WHAT should I do? What time is it? 11.25!?
What happend with time!?

And so the day rolls by. Until all of a sudden it is time to go home. I need help.

Is there anybody out there with a simple, easy to learn method or process to handle
more than one project at a time? Or should I just refund my brain?
