There are some really good suggestions here, wow!
But this is how I do it when I feel this way.
1. Get a cup of tea and note book
2. Write down the names of projects you want to get done.
3. Decide which two you need the most...or want the most to be complete.
4. Plan on a time that is good for you to sew. Say, Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
5. Make a list of quilting or non-quilting friends.
6. Call friends and explain you are over committed. (They love to hear that, (they knew it anyway)...But it will make them feel good that you actually need them. Ask your friends if they can come help you work on a project for two hours. (Sometimes that runs over). Commit to them that you will help them at another time, and do so.
7. Have a snack and a small thank you gift for your friends when they do help you.
8. Call your friends that helped you, (as you are working on hand sewing) to personally thank them again. And I do my binding when I am talking on the phone.
9. If you don't have a lot of friends to help...use this as a time to teach someone to quilt while they are helping you, or to minister to an elderly person that is lonely.
I think you also would be surprised at how much you can get done if you just commit to sewing 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes before you go to bed.
Inch by inch, lifes a cinch....Good luck, and let us know how it is going in a week or so/sew!
Call and ask for help.
