How many brands is too many? I'm working on 3, and my boss wants to give me another, but I'm wondering if that's biting off more than I can chew.

🧐 yes and… make sure your not the one they “know won’t say no”

Four briefs or four brands? It’s normal to work on multiple assignments concurrently, as long as the projects are in different stages from concept to production. If all four are hot buttons, then you need to be sure you do have capacity. Better to fewer things well than a lot of things poorly.

Don’t feel bad about saying no occasionally. That’s also a good skill to learn.

Any more than 5 is too many imo.
