You know that is a really tuff question. You might select a pattern and cut all the pieces for it, bagging and marking as you go. I fell in love with hand piecing doing Dear Jane blocks and you could start some and then make a sewing case or a table runner, a book cover or blocks for a tote, mark your sewing line and then just do a short running stitch it really is quit easy and they are like potato chips you can't eat just one well you can't sew just one they are so much fun and really easy to do.
