I operate under the same principles. Can only have one book going at a time, or nothing gets finished. Even if circs force me to have two or three in progress, I have to take six weeks to concentrate on one if I want to get it done.
For series, cooking time is cumulative, so even if I do the official proposal for book 2 or whatever and then start the book fairly soon, it will have been simmering for a year or more under the surface of the previous book.
Multiple projects for me mean too many excuses to drop them all in the middle (aka the muddle).
