Again, lists and music.
My notebook at work is full of car related notes and doodles, because I find I remember things I need to do then forget them just as quick. Tick each
off and move on. I always find myself adding to the list though so it never goes away fully! But it's starts to be more a list of nice to haves
rather than essentials.
I have all my music on my iPhone and a surround sound setup off my old PC in the garage. Makes a massive difference. Just song along as loudly and
badly as you want while you're doing it to let off some steam. NO tv though. That's just a distraction!
Good luck and keep us updated!

I always used a whiteboard for all my builds.
I write a list when I'm building a car in quite a strange way.
My list would start out with (lets say) a dozen points.
But they would not be extremely detailed. So doing a job on the list would be quite a huge accomplishment.
When I moved further down the list, I found that I had to be more specific so that the jobs were more manageable and therefore easier to tackle and
not disheartening to complete mammoth tasks...
For eg;
1. Mount engine
2. Mount bodywork to chek for alignment
would then turn into;
1. Engine
a) plumb rad
b) wire in coils
c) etc
2. Bodywork
a) Cut front susp holes
b) line up scuttle
c) etc
And so on.
Now, it does start to pee you off a bit if you start the day with 11 points to complete, do half of them and your list then has 24 points. But by the
time you've slept on it, you realise how much of a step you've taken to completion!
This may not work for you, or anyone else! But it works for me. Well it used too, but I've built a few cars now, and the lists are pretty much
in my head! But I do them the same exact way!
