Sometimes she'll get stuck on her current project and won't work on anything for months while she waits for a solution, or for inspiration to strike.

I am a completely different personality type. I know exactly what UFO's I have, I don't need a list. I told her in the time it would take me to make a list, I could finish 2 or 3 of these tops. If I get stuck, usually working on another project will un-stick me. But she will not drop it! Just yesterday she sent me a link to a video of someone showing how she made a list. It's really starting to irritate me and I really don't want it to affect our friendship. Up til now, my responses have been to tell her I don't need or want a list; I've joked about it; I've laughed it off; and in the last year or so my response has been to completely ignore these suggestions. But she will not stop. I'm afraid at some point she will say something and I'll snap and say something rude in return, and it will hurt her feelings.
