Too many projects?
SteveJ34:
Yes, where does this cruise ship sale from that we are all on, ie: too many projects....
My work life is similar to CT in that I have many that I manage and oversee, some long term, some short term that are never ending.
I did decide as recent BST posts would indicate, to focus on the homefront projects which is essentially a remodel from bottom to top (2 story).
I work all week busting my brain and then some evenings and pretty much every weekend of late working my back.....I do not complain....rather, i enjoy the hand and muscle work as a compliment or offset to the brain cycles I expend in bringing home the bacon.
For home projects, I am guilty of getting things to 90 percent there and then moving on so I have refocused to bring components to completeness before starting new.
Back burner those projects that are of less importance or do not bring you as much satisfaction in the short term....you can always revive them later.
Work to complete the remainder in an organized fashion, make a list, knock a piece out at a time.
Easy to say, harder to do.....we are all in the same boat I am sure

These days I separate projects into personal projects (those benefiting mainly myself) and life projects (those benefiting family, friends...).
My father passed away a few years ago and I was left all of his projects. I doubt anyone here or anyone you know to have as many projects as my father, but that is not too significant. What I quickly realized was that I personally had so many projects myself (a full basement of computer and arcade items) that if god forbid I passed away someone would look at my collection and either throw away or give away all of my stuff. I quickly reduced my project load down to future musts and even then I have found myself selling and rebuying certain projects because if I can't get too it in the next 4 months I just as well sell and buy again when I'm ready.
Projects are great, but don't over prioritize personal projects and don't let them add stress to your life, life is too short, shorter than one may realize.
Bones:
Same here. So many things going on at once and I keep taking on new stuff. I have 6 unfinished rockets, an unfinished game machine, an unfinished launch controller, an unfinished online rocket shop, 2 unfinished TI games, an unfinished garage storage system..... The list goes on.

Chad, maybe poor planning along with not knowing exactly what you want, along with not having alot of time could be your answer.
Remind me not to set you up as my store manager. ;D
