Too many projects?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Chris G:
I've gotten tired of being in this situation recently, so I just wrote everything down on a big list and categorized everything High, Medium, Low priority.  As often as possible, I force myself to devote some time to one of the High priority items.  If I don't have a lot of time on a given day, maybe I try to knock off one of the Med or Low ones if it's quick.  Seems to be working.  You just have to commit to it instead of just feeling overwhelmed and turning on the TV instead.  The list will never end, of course, but at least you'll make progress.

I carry way too many projects at once... various types, some on the house, some on games, some on software, etc etc... I need to figure out how to avoid doing this.  They all end up moving forward at a slow snail's pace and none ever get finished.

Anyone else in this boat?  I'd like to find a good way out of it and how to avoid it in the future.

Stop, drop and focus on one. Thats what I have to do.

Concentrate on *one* project and finish it.  Then move on to the next one.

shardian:
My BIG fault is that by the time a project comes down to the nit-picky final touches, I am so bored/sick of it I don't feel like finishing it the way it needs to be. For example, in my bathroom renovation I never put down the second coat of caulking around the tub. It was fully functional, I was sick of working on it after months and months, and the wife was several months pregnant.

ChadTower:

I have a tendency to take on projects I don't yet have all of the skills for... so I have to learn half or most of the skills necessary in the process.  I don't enjoy doing what I can already do.  As a result, even a mostly simple project can take quite a while soemtimes, because the learning curve has to be satisfied.
