Also has helped quell some of my impulsive quilting Starts because if I start something then I must add it to the list. Bonus Moment: it feels So Good to cross them off.
I love this idea. I might have to borrow it. You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned the anxious thoughts. Having too much unfinished causes me to feel stressed :( . Maybe this will help.
