I make lists for the 5 projects I work on. This way I know exactly what needs to be done next on any given project. The supplies and directions for each project are kept together so I don't have to search. I have new projects on my list, along with projects I need to finish. It is the best of both worlds. I complete a UFO and still get to try something new! My projects are in varying stages so if I'm in the mood for piecing I pick that project, if I want to do handwork I pick that project. Crossing each line off a to-do list is extremely satisfying. It is difficult to stay focused when you have a limited amount of time to spend sewing. I had the same issue when I was working -- now that I'm retired I'm finishing a lot of those projects.
