I seem to have entered some weird manic phase where I can't stop thinking about projects I want to do. My brain is having some trouble shutting off at night and I either lie awake thinking about projects or I actually get up and continue working. This has to stop. I only have the mental bandwidth to work on so many projects at a time. And my body can't handle the diminishing sleep patterns.

How many active projects is too many? Where do you draw the line on work/life balance?
