On The Nature Of Intermittent Obsession

So I am a gamer. Mainly tabletop stuff but I do move into video games. Not to mention DIY and carpentry. I focus on one thing and then another. If I were a bit more of a rapid cycle you could call it ADHD. Whilst I know a few people who are a little further down the spectrum than I am, I don't think it's that either. There are times when I do get a sense 

There is definitely a sense that I move between hobbies and even specific interests within a given hobby. Rather than it being a low key mental health problem, it has become my way to maintain momentum. If I try to push through, I can do it but I get slower. God knows I am slow enough already. 
So I am back at the hexes. If you look here you can see it has been going on for a while. This project had been underway for some time before it made it onto the blog. There was design work and some testing and that was after six months of feasibi.

Specifically I am working on a hex project I was working on back in January and further back into December last year. To be honest I got a little naffed off with myself as there were problems. Now I have a plan and I am making progress around other things. And another big pile of hexes (well technically partial hexes). 

From where I am sat there are two boxes mostly full of hexes part of the way to being finished. That is a lot of hexes. It's specialist stuff I need right now. The rest is there for the next project. And the one or two after that. 

So it's a feature, not a bug. This will end when I run out of materials. I use one supplier in the main and I will wait until they have a sale. Maybe there will be another distraction. I am not seeing one right now, but you never know. This is literally going take a decade to finish. Maybe I should get a game in with it.
