I do this as well. But I've stopped thinking of things I play with as projects, but rather patterns. > I think I need to work on actually finishing my projects I've wondered before - why do I get ashamed of sandboxing? I decided it was because projects were accumulating in my 'project' directory, creating noise about things that would never be complete. But it doesn't have to be like this! When you stop thinking of them as projects, no need for guilt. I've built a tool to make it easier to manage your data and encourage sandboxing rather than projects. It's stupidly simple but changed the way I work: http://trogrd.tumblr.com/post/15130555126/saga If the post doesn't explain it, you could try this: get it; create $HOME/saga. Then running something like "saga my test directory" a couple of times, and have a look at what it's creating in $HOME/saga until it's self-explanatory.
