Right? You're deep in debugging and researching and waking up in the
middle of the night with potential solutions, and then they say put it
aside. It's so hard to put it down, and then when you pick it up later
(sometimes months) you're like WTF is this all about. I recently
picked up something I had to put down in September - spent an entire
day getting back to where I was, then it was put on the back burner
again.
