Is it normal to not be able to focus on more than one project/hobby at a time? (lemmy.world)

I've had a game in development stalled for a month because I'm also writing a story, but the story is also half stalled because I'm replaying a game, and I'm already getting frustrated.

It's something that is starting to bothering me, it seems like I can't do something if I'm not completely immersed in it: If I want to watch movies or a series, I must do a marathon; if I want to play a game, I must pass it in less than a week; if I want to make a game, I must get into a Crunch because "reasons"; if I want to write, I must work on making it the best story I've ever written so far.

Is this normal? should I not worry so much? or how can I better manage the things I want and need to do?

Normal to me but keeping up with regular day to day, week to week, month to month, year to year is hard for me.
