The FlyLady has quite a large following. She is very interactive with all her members and it has made a difference for me. Now when I am in my sewing room, at some point I stop and set a timer for 15 minutes and put things away and usually it gets cleaned up before the timer goes off. But I also use my timer when I am doing something on a project that repeats over and over again, like chain piecing. I do it for 15 minutes at a time, and then switch to something different for 15 minutes. The timer also reminds me that I have to check dinner or the laundry. It is surprising how much gets done 15 mintues at a time.
I also like to sneak up to my sewing room early in the morning before anyone wakes up and before I have to get ready for work. Sometimes I can get a half an hour or even an hour of sewing time in.
