Coping strategies for the serial project hoarder

I'm trying to manage my projects mostly like the steps the OP takes. The only thing that I would add, which has helped me is, is having build automation in place as well (CI/CD or just scripts like a Makefile).

This could fall under tests, but I've found that having concrete steps written down on how to build the thing helps. As there's many times something that's easy to forget that has to happen for things build correctly if I've stepped away from the project for a while.

Considered using Bazel? Perfect for what you described.

I'm now religious about adding Makefiles to projects with standard commands to get them up and running. It's built-in, works across languages, overall a win when you switch often between things!
