One good thing I have been doing is keeping notes and tracking of my progress. This makes it much easier to pick up where I left off. I have been using a freeware program called task coach (link)

Task coach is a souped up todo list. More than keeping a list of task, it allows you to create categories and nest your tasks. I created a category for characters then broke that task down into Model, texture, and rig. Each can be broken down into subtasks. The program will track you time spent on each task. You can also leave notes. It does not support teams directly, but as a one man band it fits my needs well.

One of the many problems with taking a break from a project is skill creep. I have learned new techniques and honed old skills. The desire to rebuild existing assets is strong.
