one more week of work … and then it’s two weeks of holiday.

I kind of hope I will get some hobby in then, but I doubt it. With the way my mood has been I really need to find some positive energy somewhere.

There’s only been a few times this year where I managed to kind of mentally flip a switch and get motivated enough to do anything. I’ve yet to discover the actual trick to make that happen more often.

One thing that may help is having stuff available and at hand before starting. Like getting all ingredients chopped and measured before you start cooking instead of trying to do it as you go.

It’s kind of why I hope that getting my hobby room to a state where I can actually use it will be critical for my hobby.
Little things like having all paints at hand as well as a dedicated spot for painting has to help a lot.

I still have to figure out how to organise my hobby in general, because there’s so much stuff and there is no system to it.
Trying to organise it is tricky as I get too easily distracted when unpacking stuff so I really need a system that I can apply without thinking. And I am going to need more things like really useful boxes so the actual storage can be less chaotic.
Which reminds me. I need some sort of labelling mechanic first.
And I’m going to have some categories for stuff to sit in. Do I go by system, scale, feature, theme or something else ?
Do I group things by game or theme ?
(see … there I go again, down the rabbit hole like a dog distracted by *squirrel* )

There’s so much stuff I have to think about that I haven’t even considered. It’s probably easier for people who only collect a single system or who are only beginning. Which is why at one point I was thinking of creating an inventory app to help me organise things, but then I’d spent months writing software before doing any organising … and *arrrrhggggg*

tl;dr;
I really need to organise my hobby collection first. Any and all ideas are welcome.
