That's the reason this analogy never works. It's like saying

"Could you run 10,000km?"

".. erm no"

"ok, how about can you run 1km?"

"sure!"

"Great! so all you need to do, is do that 10,000 times! easy eh!?"

I have trouble paying more than 1 or 2 projects real attention. And without attention, things die.



Or perhaps it's like saying,

"So you want to visit every major city in Europe. Do you have a year of free time?"

"... erm no"

"Okay, could you maybe take a vacation every other year and visit just one country in Europe?"

"Yeah, I can do that."

"Great, just fit those in when you can for the rest of your life and you'll have done it. Easy, huh?"


Apart from the fact that then, you're not visiting them all on a single trip, so by the time you get to the 5th or so, you can't remember the 1st any more (If you don't pay projects attention, they die).
