Always. I need one project to relax from working too hard another. Of course, this counts work and study as projects, too. I put down my study books, bleary-eyed, and pick up some knitting and a cop show so I don't have to think anymore. I put down my knitting, wanting something more challenging, and start filling out complicated fictional world. This is why it's so hard to get any exercise done. I have so many other more interesting things to do.
Some projects do fall by the wayside, and I need to prioritize to make sure the important ones get done. I do schedule - I have to, or I'd forget half the things I'm supposed to get done. If I give myself unlimited time on something, it might never get done - just ask the cut but unsewn dragon plushie that's been waiting in my cupboard for two months, despite the fact that sewing is usually my favourite part. (By the way: I sew by hand, for many reasons, but it's also just easiest when your plushies are palm-sized and relatively complex.)
I schedule - but I don't follow my schedule perfectly. If I didn't get a thing done, I just push it forward one more day. Sometimes I rearrange the schedule to fit my preferences. It's really more like a to-do list with dates. I couldn't stop myself following my whims and desires even if I tried. The best I can do is try to nudge myself, guide my energy into what needs to get done.
