I think a lot depends on how many "other" demands a person has to deal with at a given time in his/her life.

What I am doing now at 78 is quite different than what I was doing at 28.

I am in a "good bubble" at the moment - DH and I are fairly "able/competent" at the moment, we do not "have to" take care of anyone, and we have enough money to cover our immediate needs.

When I was 28, I had four little kids and a big garden, wringer washing machine, outdoor clotheslines - I actually got a lot more accomplished then - as far as sewing goes, anyway.

I think "can I do it?" would be my biggest motivator right now. After I figured out "how" - I would probably lose interest.
