When I get to feeling overwhelmed, I usually make a to do list with small and large projects. I try to only keep about 10 things on it at once. Then as I cross things off, I add items too. The to do list can be comprised of whole projects like pillowcases for neice or steps such as put together 3 blocks from a UFO. This helps me to focus and get some things done. My problem is I can't bear to part with anything!
