Kind of person. Do you finish one task/ repair/ project before starting another or start multiple. Or work on them a little at a time and finish them as you go.
I will say it depends on the season and priority. I will start one or two and do what I call a Johnny Cash special. One piece at a time as money permits.
Now of course emergency repairs are self evident.

I tend to start a lot of things get them usable and never finish them because something not usable needs my attention. And the process repeats.

So my solution is to hire some things out. I just don't have the time and focus.

Yep, agree. As I get older. It's easier and sometimes cheaper hiring someone to do the work and off to the next one.

I'm more of a multi tasker . If I'm able to solely focus and work on one thing at a time.....weellll y'all have seen what happens lol. Also idk it's hard to explain but if I have multiple things going on at once the chaos of it all kinda makes it easier for me to focus vs just one thing. Like if you put me in a with nothing at all and told me to write a essay, I'd only get it done when I had like half an hour left or something. My mind would wander too much . Now do the sale but tell me I also need to fix the desk I'm waiting one cook dinner and cut the dogs nails then I'd be able to do a bit of this a bit of that but I'd be completely focused on whatever small part I was doing at that time

Addicted with something all the time. So if it's my current addiction it gets done.. With multiple half done projects..

I've always said it's a good thing I ain't into drugs cause I'd be all the way in..

All the above for me. It took me 20 years to complete the kitchen. In the mean time put on a new roof, new chimney etc etc......jk

I start a project it’s a marathon for me I will skip meals and work until I run out of light to get me to stop if it’s not finished. My goal is to finish the job to be “free” again even an appointment a week away becomes a burden waiting to get it done.

I'd say parallel - serial ... for years have had responsibilities for multiple projects, but only work on any one project at a time. My boss always insisted on one project folder on the desk at a time, the rest files in the drawer. Now that I'm retired, have multiple ideas roaming around in my head and always a honey-do list; but, only work on one project at a time moving from project to project as time and resources permit.
