I'm with the folks that don't schedule things. At least I try not to, but somehow I end up making mental commitments and getting myself all stressed out and "needing" to finish fourteen quilts by Christmas. (That's actually not an exaggeration at all; one year I made 18 lap quilts in 8 months, all for Christmas gifts)
So this year I've decided is my year of zero quilting deadlines. I work on what I want, when I want. So far that's meant I spent a lot of time "processing" scraps into pre-cuts, and cutting pieces out for about five different projects...that's just what I've felt like doing! I think I'm going to finish off a few UFO's soon too, I've been feeling interested in that part of the cabinet again lately.
My work life has gotten a lot more stressful lately (my partner quit so my workload went from being very heavy to being completely overwhelming) so I refuse to stress about my hobby! If I don't finish a single quilt this year that's going to be just fine - the point is to have fun and distract myself from stressful things.
