The shed is a poor analogy. (Here's the link to the story about the shed that took 9 years to build: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/czg04y/shed_is_finally...)

Basically, the guy wasn't a perfectionist. He didn't build and tear down 5 different sheds. It just wasn't a priority. It was really important to him that he DIY his shed, but "life" happened. Every time he set aside a weekend or some funds for the shed, something came up.

If he really needed a shed, he could have just ordered one from Home Depot. They aren't that expensive and are dropped off, fully assembled.

> the shed consumed their free cycles and mind space for 9 years.

No, it was more like a running joke. The shed was an unfinished project that was never gotten around to. My dad started finishing his basement before I was born, and only finished it over 20 years later! It was also a running joke in my family.

Ironically, I have a grass-free spot of land in my yard that was supposed to be for a dog run. My dog died a few years after I built my house. Maybe in 9 years I'll put a shed there.

Huh, that could be me except it's been like 9 years and the shed isn't finished yet.

> It just wasn't a priority

Pretty much this!
