“Inevitably we find ourselves tackling too many things at the same time, spreading our focus so thin that nothing gets the attention it deserves. This is commonly referred to as "being busy." Being busy, however, is not the same thing as being productive.” -Ryder Carroll (The Bullet Journal Method)

Working on many projects at once makes it so that not only is your time divided on each of them, but also your focus, which will affect the quality by a similar amount.
The only way real way to mastery is to get good at one subject. It doesn’t mean that you’ll have to sit with that subject for the rest of your life, it just means that that subject becomes your leverage.

Once a singular subject is applied and founded, you can branch out to whatever you want to do, just like planting a tree. The roots need to be planted and stabilized before your many branches of thought and other projects, can be established.
