I ususally say, "HOONNNNEEEYYYY!" and then give him 3 or 4 that I want to do and let him pick which one I do next. Sometimes my daughter falls victim, if she's around (teenager). LOL
I also dig in my stash and have choices of fabric after I know what pattern I want to do and let one oof them pick that, too.
I can never make up my mind, I wish i could do 10 at one time. LOL
