I find that the hardest part is just getting away from the computer. Once I tear myself away I go into the sewing room and just set a goal for myself to sew for 15 minutes. I usually find that once I get started I keep on sewing for much longer than that. Most of the time I get to a point where I want to get a certain number of blocks or rows completed before I quit or maybe get the layers sandwiched together or quilted or the binding sewn on. If I find that I am making too many mistakes or that I am too distracted by other people or things that need my attention I just cut my sewing session short until I can get back into the groove. Right now I am working on way too many projects that have deadlines so I had to prioritize them by due dates rather than by the degree I like each of them. For me sewing/quiltmaking has been therapeutic and recreational and a great way to feel good about myself and to keep myself creative and productive while I've been unemployed the past year. It's a wonderful sense of accomplishment for me when a project is completed and a source of great joy when I can give a quilt to someone who is delighted to receive it so that motivates me quite a bit too. Now if I could only find a way to love housework... :)
