ThatJeepGuy Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Anyone else secumbing to their distractions? It's prolly why I struggle to finish most projects but when your really wanting a FSJ Cherokee and one comes up at just your right price range.... We'll why not So instead of maintaining the progress to my 73 Jtruck LS swap, I'll squirrel away for a few weeks and eventually get back on track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Honestly, there’s nothing wrong with such. If you work on a project to the point where it’s not fun, you’ll burn yourself out on it and end up getting rid of the project. So if anything, it’s more of taking a break on one and distracting yourself with another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 I’m a fan of having multiple projects going at the same time. Especially if they’re at varying stages of completion. It lets me work on whatever I feel like at any given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I messed forever on my Torino and didnt realize I was burned out until I stumbled across my MJ in a junkyard a few years ago. It was a win-win; I got to take a break with the car, and a new project I was completely unfamiliar with to focus on for a little while. Now that my MJ is mostly back to daily-driver status, I was able to return back to the Torino. Somewhat refreshing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try and grease the wheel that squeaks the loudest per say but sometimes it's absolutely a going with the creative flow deal. Currently excited to investigate it more but like I had said above - trying to stay on the current skweek vs entertaining the wobbly wheel that's present.

It only seems to sell with other like minded folks with multiple hobbies. Some want the Swiss army knife - others want the kitchen knife block.
