Occasionally I can make progress by looping back to a project that has been relegated to the backburner. How do you guys keep focus?

Yeah definitely agree with the cyclical thing, although sometimes I struggle to feel like I am making efficient progress when I have to relearn too much.
Can you give an example of a for fun project that doesn’t have that flexibility? My hobbies that don’t have much flexibility involve living things like plants and fish, but they sometimes just turn into chores
The one that comes to mind would be anything involving building something outside that has a time crunch. For instance, I have goats and wanted to expand the enclosure I keep them in to allow them access to more land. I had to close off the area that I was keeping them in while I expanded it, so I had to get it done in a reasonable amount of time. It took a couple of days, but I got everything in place and the goats were much happier.
It’s weird that I find building fences “fun”, but despite it technically being a chore, it is a part of my farming hobby and I enjoy it sometimes.
Baby goats are definitely top 5 cutest baby animals, I love goats, though the bucks just reek and turned me off goat cheese lol (it has the same smell-flavour).
Doing things for pets or livestock is definitely something that can be rewarding as it enriches their lives. Goats especially will openly enjoy any new thing they can climb on haha. It is sometimes fun to build something that has utility though! I have the most problems sticking to some purely creative endeavours like drawing, though.
Here is one of my goats (Dipper) and one of our turkeys (Aang).
Gravity Falls and ATAL.** Nice. I can’t see photo though 🤔 will try on desktop when I’m home!
Sorry. Here’s a imgbox link
Aww they are both lovely. Do the turkeys lay big eggs, and are they just as good as chicken eggs?
Larger than chicken eggs with a tougher shell, but pretty much exactly the same taste-wise. Farm fresh eggs are the way to go.
