I have been using Blender for almost four years now, but you wouldn't know that from looking at what I've made with it. That is because (among other things) I have been too ambitious with my projects, and I have overestimated my own abilities. Furthermore, I believe I may have a mental affliction that prevents me from focusing on the work I must do, and then makes me feel bad when I don't do it. As a result, I will be taking beginner courses once more and progress more slowly. With that said, here is my crate:
I gave it wheels, too!
Looks great! The wheels and panel of buttons are a nice touch, makes it look functional.
I hope you reach your goals! Nothing wrong with taking a step back and getting good at the basics. It's a good way to test your creativity too.
I'm working on the room now. Here is a writing desk that will be part of it. Already the effects of starting over are taking effect. This is my best model so far.
Work looks good.
I have found myself in a similar situation - kind of a "reboot". I've learned/practiced lots of bits over the years, mostly in random order, several Blender versions. I've decided to go back to basics and (re-)learn things in a more orderly way, hopefully filling in some gaps.
williamatics I'm glad to see I'm not the only peep here dong a "reset". As much as I hate going back to what seem like the beginning (again), it seems the only logical course of action to start building a daily habit. Nice work by the way.

williamatics starting over really isn't starting over it is instead stepping back and simplifying...
perhaps going in a different direction...
but mostly it is the slowing down from going too fast in the first place that is needed and is the most helpful...
good luck and take the time necessary...
