Obviously, wargaming projects cannot be controlled by the will of Man. I need to touch up one figure. It's prominently on my workbench. Yet somehow, week after week, it refuses to let me paint it. Yet I have this other project that is breezing to completion, and I'm not even ready for it yet. It's the project that's supposed to follow the other project I'm not done with, but somehow the rows and rows of models keep tumbling onto my workbench and getting painted, based, and ready for gaming. I have decided not to worry about this. No man or group of men can control this process. This is proof of a Higher Power – a mischievous, clearly illogical and perhaps insane entity… |

You are overloading your black box. Picture the scene where that figure fits in, start painting. Move on to the next and so on. |

OH NO! The TMP bug has infested your paint brush! |

Either that or your artistic muse hasn't told you "now" to complete this one project. Do not worry, it will. |

I have the same problem. I am completing projects that are not any place near the top of my list of projects to get done. |

It merely demonstrates the fallacy of specification driven long term planning. You clearly are prioritising, just not on the time cycle you thought or using the criteria you thought. As long as customer value continues to be delivered, it doesn't matter. |

All of my projects are complete. At this point I'm just adding "chrome" so I'm in clean up mode, finishing off little bits and pieces of this and that. So today it's 6mm electrical towers, a space bug critter, and a 15mm VSF tank…. |

Paint what you are in the mood to paint. That is the only way to go. Otherwise projects sit and sit and then comes the guilt. |

We all attracted to the newest "bright" toy. We start to drool, babel and push projects aside to give our attention to our latest new bauble! |

There are no bad projects, only bad project managers. |
