I don't. I wander off and come back repeatedly. Fits and starts and bursts and rests. The trick is keeping motivation to go back.

Don't think that would work for you, though.

[alexseanchai]

Probably not, no. :( Thanks, though

Yeah, "I don't" is my take too. I always have at least two projects going on which I have no deadlines, and I play with them as the fancy takes me, and over time they creep toward completion.

*nod nod* Thanks :)
