I get lazy with it. Sometimes I just don't wan't to do one more thing. For me a log helps. I track what I do and write down what I think needs to be done that I don't want to get to right away. Then I get compulsive about clearing the daily do list.
As for projects: I re did some of the display tank layouts( several new corals) ,some just grew too large ;got some new seahorses, a pair of bangais and a very neat red mandarin. The seahorses really get me excited, fascinating animals, I like watching them swim and socialize.. If they breed, I'll have plenty to do.
