Hey guys, I can't be the only one who does this, but does anyone else start things and then leave them months or years without returning to them?
I wonder if it's an autism thing?
In some cases, years later I don't even return to some projects despite knowing that it still needs to be done. I either lose interest or, more likely, I get busy doing something else that takes up all my time and interest. I find it difficult to be interested in multiple things at once.
Of the top of my head these are some of my unfinished projects...
* I have multiple books that I've started writing and then stopped and never returned to. They are saved on my computer waiting to see the light of day again.
* I have a Rover SD1 Vitesse Twin Plenum which I bought a few years ago when I was 21. I parked it to the right of the workshop at the end of the yard by the trees, intending to get to it. Here we are nearly 6 years later and it's still parked there and a tree branch has since fell on it, smashing the rear window and rust has set in the usual places.
* I intended to paint my room so bought the brushes, paint and overalls to do the job. The paint and kit is all still waiting to be used.
* I have an old stereo from the 80s at the back of my workshop, waiting to be restored.
* I have a classic Mini Cooper which I had intended to restore and repaint as one of the Minis from the Italian Job. I want to repaint it as the white one which was always my favourite of the 3. It's been in my workshop nearly 10 years now.
These are just some of my unfinished projects but there are many, many more which I haven't listed here.
