We can all recognise this situation: you enthusiastically start your next hobby project, design something, order the components, and the project is allocated a prominent spot on the work bench. A few months later, you tidy up your electronics corner. In the meantime, your project has been collecting dust in the corner. With the intention of continuing with it when winter comes around again, you slide it into the drawer with a sigh, leaving it to join all the other uncompleted projects. One way of increasing your chances of success and raising the pleasure you derive from your projects is a combination of two methods: supply-side time management and spiral development.
