I've actually been working on what I think are going to be some nice changes that will make juggling multiple projects a LOT easier. My development background had me working on one big project at a time, but I'm learning that a lot of people self-juggle a lot of projects at once.

One of the perks of an all-in-one time tracking + task list tool is that I've been silently collecting data on: how accurate are estimates? how many hours a week does this person work? how many projects are being worked on in a given time span?

And next on my plate will be to actually use this data to make predictions based off of data that will help you see a lot of what you're talking about.

I look forward to seeing the results! As a freelancer I'll have clients who I work for regularly, and clients I work for once in a blue moon. A way to archive projects (and not pay for them as GitHub makes me) is crucial - because on my books I have 30+ clients, and can't lose the info in case they come back in 2 years for a change to the system.
Not sure when you last tried Planscope, but you can archive projects now (and resurrect them whenever you'd like) :-)
I'm on it now as a paying customer, with one project entered :) The client's struggled with the UI (I haven't figured out why) so I haven't tried with any others yet.
