Do you listen to Dave Ramsey? I listen to Dave Ramsey. He's a no-nonsense get-out-of-debt guru. The key to his methods is the "debt snowball." You line up debts, smallest to largest, then start knocking them off the list. This week it hit me. I should start a UFO snowball! I could line them up by hours until finished, smallest to largest. Or deadlines: soonest to latest. Or importance: now or pipe dream. Anyway I want, I can snowball these projects.
The key to success is meeting goals with enough regularity to see myself making progress.
It worked with the budget, but I don't think it will ever work with my UFOs. I want to work on ALL of the projects that I still have in my possession. And I want to sew up ALL of my fabric, eventually.
So maybe I won't eliminate my list entirely, but I am keeping track of what I am finishing, and marking another one done sure feels good!!

I love the energy in your string quilt. Do you use a foundation for your squares? I added a finished list sand a proposed list on my blog just to keep me focused. I love checking off things:)
There is something about checking off something finished on a list. Congrats on getting another one on your list crossed off.
I really love those scrappy quilts. I need to stay focused and get some of my projects finished.
I did not know that you had that machine, glad you learned how to master
it! I used to make postcards for swaps. I have a basket full of postcards
from defunct yahoo group. I then did one swap with Postmark'd art (I think,
there were two blog based groups at the time, about 2008) and there was
such a lack of follow through I kind of gave up. Seeing your cards makes me
think I should try making some postcards again.
