Don't underestimate the cost of switching contexts. I find that when I have two projects on the go, even the most trivial "5 minute" request that comes in via Slack or Email has the potential to bomb the next 2 hours. You have to unload everything from one project and then reload everything from project two. Any momentum you had from the first project is now definitly gone and needs to be built up for the second project.
