I have the same problem. I keep a journal with a running list of ideas and projects. Then I follow Carol Doak's ideas for organizing a project. which means write down the fabrics by copying the list of fabrics on your patter;list them according to directions. select which part to do first then put that pile next to a small dish or meat tray. cut and slice label all on the tray and begin..
I found that foundation quilting organizes me
