Prioritizing projects

When you look around your living room and realize you have 6 or more projects on the go, it's time to figure out a way to prioritize them. I used to start a project and just work it through until it was done. Now I find that I need some smaller projects to help offset the longer ones. Here is where I am with some:
Cuffs-a day of working on the cuffs and they will be done. I've decided to gift them to a friend for his new tunic that I'll be making.
Black shawl-this one is for Ninka and I'm struggling with whether to attach commercial trim in the red/gold colours that she loves or weave some and stitch the gold thread in later.
Socks-I had to rip out and start over. I stitch loosely and they would have been bagging around his ankles.
Hood-I'm trying to figure out how to do two types of hoods for ladies. One needs to be open at the front but I'm trying to decide on lacing or buttons. The other needs to be a hood with a small cape. I'm thinking linen on the inside and wool on the outside.
Lombardi garb-I'm working on the pattern for the embroidery plus figuring out how much cording I'll need.

In addition, I really need to get a new set of garb ready-Italian Courtesan (not too racy) or a burgundian set. Decisions, decisions.
