Do you ever feel un-crafty?

I know some people who knit or crochet every single day. I’m envious of that, although I know the reason I can’t sit and knit every day is because I work at home, I have three young kids who need my help and attention, I have other hobbies, etc. But still, I’m envious.
I know I’d complete more projects if I worked on them more (or had the time to work on them more), but there are also times I get immersed in a good book or just enjoy getting out into the fresh air more than I feel like picking up my needles.
I guess it’s because I know the yarn and the needles aren’t going anywhere. Or maybe I just get tired of using my hands that way, though I can almost always feel a yearning to go back to it when I’m busy working or helping someone with homework. However long my un-crafty breaks, I always go back to the yarn eventually.
Do you ever put projects aside because you don’t feel like working on them? Or do you always have a project in your hands?

I’ve been working on the same blanket for years. Recently, I discovered a way to tackle the problem- set aside thirty minutes a day(using a timer). It really works!
A timer! What a great idea. That never even occurred to me. I’m going to try that. Thanks!
