I don't know if this is really a method or not. At the beginning of the year I made a list of all my incomplete projects. It was quite long! Some of the items were as simple as getting a label on the back, or binding a wallhanging. Anyway, my resolution was to keep the list in a prominent place. Only after I have crossed three items off, will I give myself the luxury of planning and shopping for one new project. The new project can't big huge if the items checked off are small, and the item can be huge if the items checked off are big. Three steps forward, one step back...
