I do this with reading and painting.

When i finish a book, i read the first few pages of the next book. And when i finish a painting, i start the sketching for the next one.

Really keeps the momentum going, and is especially helpful for people who feel a bit overwhelmed starting new things.

I can't do this. No matter the hobby (they come and go), if I start the next thing it's a one-way ticket to realizing it's 3a.m. and I gotta get up at 6 for work.

However what I like to do is a reset. If I'm sewing, that means removing any lint, oiling the machine, tidying up the work area and refilling the bobbins for the next project. But I gotta leave the project itself unstarted otherwise... see above ;)
