When we picked out our "new home" years ago, I immediately picked out one of the bedrooms for a hobby room/den so I have a place to work on my models, read, pay bills, watch TV, etc. It still works for me today. In fact I just redid the décor in this room this past spring, new color on the walls, new carpeting, relocated several pictures & posters on the wall, etc.
Sounds ideal? For the most part it is, but I STILL need motivation from time to time. I keep up with the yard work, and the snow plowing and have outside interest besides model car building. After a pretty busy summer, I've just started building again this week, and even stopped at my LHS today for some supplies, and another hobby shop tomorrow as well. My motivation comes and goes, and I really could "pick up the pace" on my model building if I would spend LESS time on this keyboard.
