My point is with the five minute a day plan is it WILL get done a lot faster than if you did nothing right? Even only five minutes a day is a LOT better than nothing.

I finished my Gran Sport after using this five minute a day plan after it had sat for years. In one year I got it done. Many many days only going out to arrange bolts or to install one emblem, but forcing myself into that garage for those five minutes even when I was dead tired after work.

It's just amazing as you said how often you end up after planning on NOT spending much time, you get something done!

It's a lot like my evening walk, I started 4 years ago after a bad blood test in a physical to get out and walk as the doctor said. Every other night I walk out my front door for a 2-6 mile walk. Soooooo often I am beat and I think this is going to be a short one. I am planning on where I am going to turn around, but damn it I get out there. WAY more often than not I end up going much further, it's amazing how magical it is to just get out there, get out and touch that truck, it gets you fired up!
