Multi-tasker is an understatement. Quilting is only one of my hobbies. I also cut glass to make stained glass panels and have hundreds of sheets of glass to store and organize. Plus...mosaics, etc. I get project ideas before finishing current project(s).
My strategy is to set a timer for 10 minutes to pick up and straighten up. It doesn't make the task seem overwhelming, and when the timer goes off, I keep going until comfortable stopping.
