Beginners,doing multiple modifications at once......

I too am a beginner with Automotive Attention Deficit Disorder! I think for the most part it's caused by lack of funds or parts, sometimes frustration. When I don't have the money for a tool or part I just start working on something that I can do at the time, then I get the part or tool and go back to it leaving the other started project behind. I go back and forth a lot, what makes it worse is most stuff I just keep track of in my head. My girlfriend's dad finds it amusing that I manage somehow.
