Title: What project are you never finishing? Post by: Dave Gray on May 10, 2023, 03:13:55 pm I know we all have a project lying around that we mean to get to, but never will.
Mine is this cardboard R2-D2 I started building out of boxes from work. It is really intricate and has lots of moving parts and collapsible tools inside the dome. I haven't worked on the thing in a long, long, long time. A co-worker's child was messing with it and ripped off some of the delicate insides, which I'd yet to fix. I brought it home from the office around COVID and there's just no place for it in my garage. It's just slightly too big so I have to move it all the time. And it fell off a ledge and the legs broke off. I could fix all of this, but I'm never going to. And I've put a lot of time into it. I'm kinda stuck. Usually with things like this, I lament over them for a while and then just throw the whole thing out. Title: Re: What project are you never finishing? Post by: Spider-Dan on May 10, 2023, 03:33:57 pm I can think of some projects that are going to take a while - e.g. I need to go through my collection of instruction manuals and throw out the ones for stuff I've gotten rid of - but I'm generally pretty good about eventually getting to them.

And I've put a lot of time into it. This leads the sunk cost fallacy, don't fall in that trap. Quitting is ok. don't toss good time after bad time. |
