How Many Papers Should You Be Working On?

Answer: 6.

In case you don't believe me, here is the discussion on AEA's discussion board Econspark. My additional advice: You should probably devote more time to your most promising papers, but another thing to keep in mind is that if you've started a project that someone else is likely to also work on (because, for example, it is an obvious next step in the literature and the data is freely available), then you may want to get that paper through to the draft stage fairly quickly. 

H/T: David Mackenzie. Again.
