There's a very simple solution to that problem... just keep between  
50 and 100 PCBs in various states of completion on your workbench at  
all times. (Works for me.) That way when you get stuck on one, you  
just move right along to the next one. :-)

These days it's a minor miracle when any thing gets completed in my  
world, but I've now trained my 2.5 year old son to take the nuts off  
of pots and jacks (saves me time and he loves 'helping' daddy). He  
can't wait until I'll let him at the soldering iron... maybe there's  
hope yet!
