What has worked for me: stop being goal oriented and become process oriented with a goal to finish. I used to do most everying as goal oriented. Get that quilt done. Get dinner on the table. It's like "stop and smell the roses". Now I'm more process oriented: enjoying just doing it. Today I made Pesto. It started as goal oriented. Catching myself, I turned into a process oriented project and enjoyed experimenting. It's mellowing now and get to have it for dinner.
