first off it's going to take a little (self-discipline)...do not start anything new until you have*lowered the stack* of unfinished projects---
then, instead of spending time going through started projects---pick up the first one- decide---nothing else till this is done...sit down & get it done. You will feel so (empowered) and excited when it's finished! then grab that next one one in site & do that one...in no time the stack will be down below the (overwhelming) level and you will be excited to start something new. many of us go through this...when i reach that point where i just don't know what to do- i know it's time to just take the first one laying in site and get at it-no excuses. (if there is actually an excuse-like need something important---at a standstill then i write a note stating what it is i need to finish it- put the whole thing into a large ziplock-with the note on top & shelve it- then it's not laying around in the (overwhelming ufo's stack) it is put away- and i can move onto the next one. it's always amazing how all of a sudden i can get 6-10 projects finished in a week when i set my mind to getting things done & out of the way
