Perhaps you need to start over again :-).
Hi Adam, I have a follow up to this. When a project gets “shelved” because you have run out of energy on it, do you have a system for “saving” your progress so that you can hit the ground running when you pick it back up again in the future?
Thanks,
Richard
Hey adam, how do you efficiently store the many active projects you have? Thanks! #askadamsavage
Those are great points. Thanks for answering!
Hi Adam! I have been following your journey since the beginning of Mythbusters. You seem to have worked with every kind of maker there is- vast ranges of age, experience, skill sets and interests. But you seem to have had a special experience when you worked with the incredible kids on Mythbusters Jr. They seemed to spark your enthusiasm in a whole new way. That’s my long way of asking: which do you prefer and why? Working with adults or kids? I am sure there are advantages and disadvantages aplenty for both situations. #AskAdamSavage
