Since I've retired I haven't needed to rejuvenate - now I keep a list in my journal - what I accomplished this week and what I didn't get worked on (all sewing related) I belong to a couple of groups so when I get a project from a group I go home and do it so it doesn't get put off and put off. Once my projects for those groups are done I'm free to sew on what I want! With this process I usually complete at least one project a week.

A LONG time ago, someone said to leave an unfinished seam in the sewing machine. That way, you don't have to sit there and figure out what to do - just step on the gas and go. I find that i'm more motivated to get off the black sucking hole that we call the computer when I know how easy it is to get started once I'm actually IN my cave.

You are absolutely correct, being retired I always seem to say "there is always tomorrow". Very bad habit! Even the evening prior I tell myself "TOMORROW MORNING" get going and finish that quilt! I can't count how many mornings I find wash to do, dusting, picking up, bed's to change and numerous other distractions. For some odd reason I can't sew unless my house is cleaned up. What about you guys, does anyone have that problem?
