What is the recommended limit for active projects?

The system suggests focusing on 1-2 Primary projects and 2-3 Secondary projects, with a total active attention cap of 5-7 projects to prevent burnout.

How do I handle a project that feels stuck?

The skill provides an Unsticking Protocol to identify the specific block, name the underlying feeling, and define the smallest possible 2-minute physical action to regain momentum.

Can this help with context-switching between repositories?

Yes, it includes specific protocols for 'leaving breadcrumbs' and mental rituals to reduce the cognitive load when moving between different technical projects.

How does this differ from traditional project management?

Unlike traditional PM focused on external deadlines and resource allocation, this skill focuses on internal energy, attention allocation, and sustainable momentum for individual practitioners.

Productivity & Workflow

Manages multiple concurrent creative projects using energy-based workflows and practical progress tracking systems.

Project Orchestration is a specialized skill designed for creative practitioners and developers who balance numerous initiatives simultaneously. Unlike traditional project management methodologies that focus on rigid timelines, this skill prioritizes energy management, attention allocation, and momentum. It provides a structured framework for categorizing projects into states—Primary, Secondary, Support, and Dormant—allowing users to focus deep attention where it matters most while maintaining awareness of other commitments. By implementing sustainable weekly rhythms and specific unsticking protocols, it helps users navigate creative overwhelm and minimize the cognitive costs of context-switching.
