I wish it was. What I mean is that when there is no external deadline there is a habit of starting project 1, when it gets difficult, then start project 2, when it gets difficult, then start project 3, ...
Both in work and with my hobbies, the end result is that there are many unfinished projects. The ones that get finished are usually very good, because a lot of thought went into them, but the ratio finished:unfinished is like 1:4. Similar to investment funding, but in the personal case it seems to be a form of procrastination. I tend to switch projects when the one I'm working on becomes difficult.
I admire the people who can work sequentially, project 1 -> finished, project 2 -> finished, etc.
It is procrastination when the thing without a specific deadline needs to be done eventually for your own good, like seeing a dentist or making craigslist listings for clutter, or the next step on a side project, or calling for a warranty repair on a piece of mildly broken furniture. These are things that have been on my to-do list for 11 months.
