The key is, comic, even if you have more than 1 project you can focus on them one at a time and actually get stuff done. Example is you may have a paper for English, a paper for History, and a science report due but you can work on one for extended periods, and get a lot done or finished and then start the next.

For me, it's like, "I read half a paragraph for my English paper, now I'll write 2-3 scentances for this history thing, oh, wait, I have to figure that equasion out. Oh, back to English... I wonder what's on t.v.? This makes me think I should start a new story! But first I should draw a map. Oh yeah! I have to work on my history project!"

Obviously I'm not in school any more the above scenario was pretty common for me when I was.
