I think for some of us, when doing personal work we have a tendency to work on a project and then set it aside. When you have other projects to do or other responsibilities it can be easy to neglect your personal work. It is important for all of us to take some time for ourselves and personal expression. I am guilty as the next person. So make sure you take an oath to yourself that you will finish what you started and see your body of work through to its completion.
