I USED TO BE LIKE EVERYBODY ON THIS POST, THAT JUST COULDN'T GET GOING. I AM NOT COMPLETELY CURED....it's just that I learned my biggest hindrance: I CANNOT WORK WITH CLUTTER UP TO MY EARS, ALL AROUND ME.
Now, when you see my pictures, my room is packed, but it IS organized. Not vacuumed this week, but nothing on the floor, except garbage cans and bins. Tables have some stuff that is cut out, so I am working on other table. I will not cut out one more project, until this one is done, simply bc, IT IS IN THE WAY of anything new.
I do have a block that I will do, but that's small.
Then I will get back to the toddler quilt, hanging on my design board.
I only kept the stuff, I know I am really going to use, and gave away or trashed, (oh, did I mention I was a famous box, bin, bag, ice cream bucket collector????) WAS.
When I cleaned and organized, one space at a time, and kept cleaning and organizing, till it was all done the way I want it, THEN, I felt freer to be creative.
It's not the way you are born, and it's not a gift. I have to push myself to stay neat...each and every day, but it is the most freeing thing I have done for myself. I am an addict, I am compulsive, and i can be a procrastinator. I will always wrestle with these issues, but now I know I can do something about it. And some days, I just don't go in there, so the urge will come back big time...and I set the timer. Absence does not make the heart grow fonder, it makes me lazy. One day of vacation, unless I am sick or not home. Gonna quit yacking about this now. These are the things that work for ME. Keep doing what you been doing and the same things will keep happening...I have to remind myself of that.
I hope each and every person finds their "groove". I have a motton on a bulletin board, "SOMETIMES THE ONLY REASON AN IDEA DOES NOT WORK, IS BC I - DON'T DO IT!!!" ...sometimes, (you'll understand if you just read previous comment), is bc I GET MIXED UP,...doing too many things, too close together, LOL!!! ...oh happy day....la la la...going back to my room at the 'farm' now....now laugh, straighten things up and set that timer, and sew...one seam, even! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
