As things become less unrelated I start mixing things up, forgetting character names, have to re-read to get back into the situation and basically it stops being fun.

Some of you write multiple stories concurrently, read stories as they're posted, Beta for other stories and keep a shelf full of plot bunnies on the side. HOW?
So, how do you keep focused?
