Yes, I do best if I put the whole project into focus and see what's next also so it's just like doing a page of math problems for homework one night only the "problems" are a bit larger and it's over a semester instead of one night. Just assume you will get the project finished (you do generally get all your projects finished on time?) and be businesslike about it; put it in prospective with what you are looking to learn overall in the course. I use to make my projects my own, come up with some angle to them that was entertaining to me so I enjoyed doing them more, didn't get as bored.
