Mornings are great. Yesterday I woke up

Mornings are great. Yesterday I woke up at 4 and saw that Facebook Hacker Cup is on. I finished all the problems before my work day started - how awesome is that to start your day?
One thing I don't understand is how people can focus on a couple of projects simultaneously. This year I've worked a lot with javascript and backbone, and I have a folder with ~4 open source projects I wrote that I'm not going to publish. Why? Because then I'll shift my focus from delivering the product to delivering open source.
It takes me a few hours every Sunday and Friday to get in the mood of 'this project is going to kick ass'.

This might be controversial, but have you considered opening an anonymous/throwaway github account and publishing there? I mean put them up, make an announcement, and then feel free to ignore any social pressure to work on them, at least that way the code is out there where somebody else could pick it up and improve it.
Just seems like a weird reason to not release code you intended to be open source.
