I literally have to leave the house. I thought once I took sewing lessons, I'd be OK on my own and not have to keep it up. Now I attend a sewing circle with the same ladies, because I don't make the time otherwise. I think it's the same as having a "gym: in your house, vs a gym membership. Too many distractions otherwise. I find at home I'm too distracted, sometimes the Internet (and QB), I work from home, so that's always hard to compartmentalize, and then sometimes I find I spend a lot of time getting ready to sew (not just laying fabric out, but sometimes trying to make my work space better, etc). Then after all that work getting things organized, I pack a bag and go to the sewing circle.
