I'm thinking of making tarts at some point, too! Only I'm making mine an Italian jam filled one with lattice pastry strips.
Tell me, is it as tiresome to make pastry as it is bread dough?

Those sound delicious! It's a shame lattices take so long to do. I admire your patience.
It's a little less tedious, but you have to be careful to keep it cold. And as soon as it comes together you can take it out of the mixer, since you don't want to develop too much gluten. Use pastry flour, if you can. All purpose will make your tarts too tough.
This particular tart dough was really, really soft. Granted, you want soft tart dough, but not quite as soft as some people's got. We didn't have to knead in flour, but if it gets too soft that's what you'll have to do.
The tip Chef John told us was to roll out your dough to 1/4 an inch thick and to leave it out for five minutes. If you ca pick it up without it falling apart, your dough is firm enough.

Well, not really, no. You just lay them on top of each other, if you're lazy like me. 
I'll be sure to keep these tips in mind. Thanks!
The hard part of it of all? I'll be making soup, fried veggies and drinks to make it all a dinner.

Get your tarts done first. That way they can chill while you get the actual dinner part made.
