I started doing multiple projects from the get go. It's not that I get bored with one, just that I like having several going at the same time. I have to have something to do when I'm in the family room with DH in the evening. He watches TV and I work on binding, applique, or yo-yo's. But even though I've done sewing, cross stitch, knitting, crochet and embroidery, I've never had multiple projects going except with quilting.
