Man getting motivated is hard

Once I get motivated and get started on a project I will keep at it until I'm done, unless it's a large multi day job I stay at it until well after my body has told me to take a break. Then I suffer for a few days from the overexertion, ***** about how tired and sore I am, but do it all over again the next time.
I spent most of the last 3 summers in the garage working on some pos or another. Last year's vacation time was spent on renovations in my house, and of course 2020 was all about covid, so no vacation then either, spent it all in the garage. I have been thinking about just taking this summer off and not starting any projects that are more than a day or two at the most. Of course it will depend on what my wife has in mind too. I have even been considering selling everything and downsizing, but I don't think she's really ready for that yet.
