props to those in multiple leagues

I don't know how some of you guys do it. Especially Elf and those who are near double digit leagues or multiple dynasty and keeper leagues. Last year I did 4 redrafts and handled it well. This year I added a dynasty, keeper and joined the IBL league while doing 4 redfafts. Being a single father, going to school full time, and working full time doesn't make it easier. Feeling like I'm spreading myself to thin this year. Hard to keep up with waivers and all the stuff that goes on in the dynasty and keeper leagues. 1st week forgot to hit submit when doing lineup in dynasty and havent acquired one waiver(though have tried).
Inheriting a few teams changed things up a little for me too. I have never drafted McFadden before but inherited him on one team. I like to keep fairly the same players to an extent in my leagues because I can't stand having a player and playing against the same player when I need a win. So with that being said I drafted Mcfadden in a few other leagues as well which I never would have done had I not gotten him from a taken over team.
Do you guys in multiple leagues try to draft most of the same players or have a wide variety. I know you have to take into consideration best player on the board when drafting but it's hard having peyton in one game and needing him for a win and playing against him in another and needed him to do bad for a win.
I think next year I will drop 2 of the redrafts so I will feel less overwhelmed.
The IBl is aa whole different story. Joined jut so we could field a team for SO but definitely didn't get to plan out a decent strategy for that one.

I couldn't imagine the frustration that I'd feel in a dozen leagues at the same time. The last couple of years I was in three before cutting back to only two this year. Last year I'd go nuts wanting a player to score just enough for one league but gawd don't score too many because you'll cause me to lose in another. Posters here say you just can't monitor the scoreboard as close and that helps you save your fingernails.

I started the year with 29 full-management leagues, but Coach Norm is back to take over his Shula League team again, so I'm down to 28. He might also take over the SOFFL III team I started for him as well, and if so, that would leave me with 27. I do have a lot of the same players in a lot of those leagues--especially players you could get later in the draft. In a snake draft, your studs are largely dictated by your drafting position, so there is some variation there, but in auction leagues you can target the same studs in every draft too.

The best strategy is a highly UNdiversified portfolio when you are right--but when you're wrong, it can be a disaster. I won almost every game in week 1, and then reciprocated most of my records in week 2--winning in the leagues I had lost, and losing in the leagues I had won. Of my six 2-0 leagues, however, three of them are in money leagues, and two of them are in my two biggest $100 leagues--so that's good.

I have some duplication, but it is out of preference to those players (view their value higher than most) and not b/c I want to make it simple by having similar players.
