		<description>I&#039;ll have to think about the &quot;mind space switch&quot;.  Moving between projects is something I do have to do in some cases (my projects and more community-oriented/required projects, for instance).

However, right now &quot;fear based self-doubt&quot; is topping the list.  *sigh*  I need to find a job/income, and have no certainty of where to find it. I&#039;m not fond of uncertainty.

Oh well. On to more cheerful things.  I just got my copy of Tolkien&#039;s *Sigurd and Gudrun*, but haven&#039;t started reading it yet.  Just savoring the &quot;looking forward to it.&quot;</description>

		<description>“mind space switch” [from one project to another]:

That is awesome. This is a huge concern of mine. Back int he day, I thought I was just the uber-multi-asker, juggling ten projects at once, tra-la!

Now I know I was just dashing from one to the other and not doing my best work because I could not fully concentrate.

It is exactly as Julie describes it: like slogging through mud trying to switch between one book and another. And it is also like a slog switching from one task to the other, such as doing layouts on a research intensive book, then inking, then inking another book. Man, it messes with your head.</description>
