What ever organizational system you use I highly recommend some form of weekly review.
Setting a next action date and shuffling projects between active and someday/maybe is something you should do on a weekly basis.
It really helps you feel better about taking some time in the hammock.

I'm really good at starting personal projects... finishing them is a different matter though. I have so many little projects on the go that I need to finish one day. Have a fun one that I was doing YEARS ago - bought a retro gaming handheld and I decided that the size and shape of it would fit nicely in an SNES cartridge. So bought all the stuff, dismantled the handheld and bought a dremmel so I could make all of the appropriate holes. Even measured things as good as I could and I can fit the handheld in there along with the game. So the SNES cartridge will work in a real SNES PLUS I can play games on the handheld. Got everything ready to go and then never did anything with it. Now, it's been sitting unplugged for years, so the battery is likely garbage so a little more to add to the project, but the handheld works while plugged in (even without the battery), so not a huge loss there except it is no longer portable.
But that's just one of my 30+ projects that I've started and never finished. Got a fireplace surround that's 75% done but it's been at that stage for at least a year if not longer... I need to finish what I start... one day... And for me it's not even sloth that is my enemy - it's the "shiny new thing" that's my enemy. New book, new video game, new tv show, new kid (have a <1 year old in the house now who eats up a LOT of my time as well as a 3 year old)... it's just hard to find time and energy to finish up the projects. Especially when the repeated chores eat up so much free time (laundry, household cleaning, lawn care, etc.).
The above is all just my opinion on what you should do.
As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it. Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

Batteries don't have a linear degradation. The only way to see what is left in a battery is to run it completely down for a few cycles and charge it completely back up.
One nice thing about rechargeable batteries is that they leak far less often when I forget to take them out for longer term storage of the battery powered device.
