Indeed, spreading yourself too thin takes the fun out of it. I got
overloaded just with my D, the new (to me) boat and it's attendant
truck and my house.
The boat is mostly done so I'm back to the car and much less
stressed. You just have to prioritize and organize man. On top of
that, you find yourself working longer, harder hours to finance all
of this stuff.
I'd shave off a few more projects if I were you.
