How do you choose your projects?

I am notoriously picky about what I’ll knit. I think it’s because I know I’ll invest so much of my time that I have to be happy with the end result. I like a challenge, but not all the time, so my projects are usually a mix of simple to complex. Plus, if I don’t want to think one day, I’ll pick an easy project out of the bag.
So, how do you select projects to work on? Do you work on multiple items at a time? How do they differ? Do you keep an easy one on hand for when you’re watching TV, while a complicated one awaits for when you have quiet time?
It is always good to have a ‘no brainer’ project that you can work on easily. I quite often pick a project that I can learn something new from. Then there are always the paid gigs.. I do sample knitting.. which quite often gets in the way of the stuff I want to do!! But hey.. it pays!
A sample knitter, how cool! I always said I’d love a job where I got paid to knit.
