I've been relying heaving on the templates, and also every few days I make it a point to work on a page or a spread with my morning coffee. Gives me a sense of forward motion!

Your suggestion with the coffee and a double page could help me to complete the two projects this year. Thank you very much for that.
I've already gone through the two albums today (with a cup of coffee

).
The first is the photo book from my son's 7th year of life, the only thing missing is the front and back and a few corrections in the journaling, maybe some brushes or elements. Doable.
The second is the history of my family home, which we bought 6 years ago.
There's still a lot more to do. 68 pages have been filled with photos, but the back third still has "Big title goes here" written all over it. pfffffffffffffff.
That makes for a lot of morning coffee in front of the PC.
I usually stick to one project in order to draw the red "design" line. Corona and other events have unfortunately caused this to break off and I have to try to get back into the flow.
Thanks again for your suggestion. That was very helpful.

So progress is being made! I like that you did a mental assessment as a first step in your son's album. When I remember to do that, I am often pleasantly surprised how little it will take to finish up a project. (This happens with knitting, too.) And then it becomes, as you say, "doable."
I had to laugh at your "Big Title Goes Here" note! If you were my neighbor, I'd bring you a thermos of coffee! Onward!
