I love lists!
However, my OCD kicks in and I have to make a "perfect" list. (Not really, but sometimes I wonder if I think someone is going to scrutinize my list. Sick, I know.
).
But, instead of getting motivated to get back to a project, I have to set a timer so I'll stop sewing and get to the laundry, cooking, or other housework that I choose to ignore while in my sewing room.
