Reviving an Old Project

So I was watching this video of an old flash game I was working on following a tutorial at ASGamer.com. I must admit, I haven't had much experience with Flash or AS3, but I had fun working with them. I don't remember why I halted development on this thing, but after watching the video, I kind of want to pick it up again.

At the same time, there are several other projects I've got going, and it might be a bit of a distraction. Every programmer I know has a similar dilemma. Often we abandon a project for awhile, and come back to it later. Sometimes we abandon one and never return to it.

I think for non-nerds it's hard to understand our seemingly short attention span. We, or at least I, tend to read an article online and suddenly become excited about this new idea I got from it, or this new framework I want to try, or ... well, you get the picture. I have to say, it's time for me to start getting my hobbyist projects organized.

So here's my question to you:
How do you deal with organizing your projects? Are you like me, and tend to get wrapped up in several at a time? If not, what's your secret?


Also, here's the video for anyone who wants to see it. It's a little drawn out, fast forward towards the end if you wanna see the boost power up! (probably not as exciting as I made it sound just there)



UPDATE: Unfortunately, the hard drive this was stored on just crashed, and I don't have a backup. But, maybe this is a good thing. I might redo this from scratch and if I do, maybe I'll do a post or two on AS3.
