Rob: When I was working, I had a file similar to how you describe the tickler file. Now I put things on my phone calendar and add reminders.
I had been sorting a couple of fabric boxes off and on and, suddenly, it became a main priority. Lol! I knew the fabrics in the boxes were mostly children type with some under the sea, animals, sport-themed, etc, thrown in. I have a few more piles to put in bags and label and that project will be done. But now, when will I use them and for what project? 🤷♀️ That quandary will definitely be for another day. It’s just good to know what I have to put into a project.
