I'm at the age now where I do have to keep a list of the things I want to finish in 2012 and a deadline (if there is one). I keep the projects together in jumbo plastic bags so that I am not hunting for all the pieces when I get ready to work on a particular project. I am also retired and absolutely LOVE it. I am very busy, but it is with things I want to do, not what I have to do. Life is good!
