I just can't help but pick up projects, and these really keep me going. I suppose I crave satisfaction much more than relaxation.
I find it very hard to relax by just chilling on a beach, or reading a book in the afternoon. I just want to work on a project.
What I find really fun is that often when I'm working on a project, my 5 year old daughter will get in to a project mindset herself, and will be working on her own thing (sticky tape, cardboard, etc), while I'm fixing a bicycle or building something. It's a really fun companionable time, where we're both working on our own thing, but in each other's company.
