Yeah that is probably a good idea. These projects remind me of a comment that J.R.R. Tolkien made when he was working his big project LOTR. He said it was consuming him.
Nothing like diving head first and drowning in it! I often feel this way about any project that I start. I eventually learn how to breathe underwater with each one though, so I stop drowning and gasping for air or something else that is distracting.
