Hi Valerie,
Actually smile I do most things the way you describe Valerie. I have at
least three to four or five knitting projects going at once, usually am
editing ten or twelve books at once, and if I get stuck on something I will
drop it, go onto something else until I am up to reattack the challenge
again. It helps keep my sanity, smile. I do the same thing with paperwork
at the office too, smile, it helps it get done and not have me be burned out
by it.
So I think you aren't a odd duck in this way of attacking things.

Reading a book is like rewriting it for yourself. You bring to a novel,
anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history
and you read it in your own terms. -Angela Carter, novelist and journalist
(1940-1992)

I am often the exception to the rule on this one. Wink. I am often
working on books in shifts or specific things. I have one tough one that I
am slowly trying to redo charts on that I am sure the submitter thinks I
have given up on, but I might work on pagination on more than one after the
other, or standardize formatting. Things like that. Short books I might
work straight through or one that grabs me, but if I am doing one at
someone else's request, I may mix it with my scanning, too. I work on
movement management and try to mix things up to avoid repetitive stress of
just sitting.
I am pretty sure I am an odd ball in this, though...

I am not sure people actively work on 5 at once, they just download them
and work on them when they get to them. I have 2 on my download list
right now but I will work on one at a time.
Sometimes people are waiting for the book to come in from the library or
just hanging onto it until they have time.
