Hmm, this might be what I need. I "think" I can manage 15 minutes...
You hit the nail right on the head with, "I can be unmotivated or tired and don't feel like it." After a day at work, getting dinner ready and eating, I'm pooped! Especially when it's been dark since late afternoon.
Of course, having places like this to visit doesn't help, lol. Just tried to list a couple of things in the classified section, but they were deleted as I haven't posted enough in the last two weeks. Well, I assure you, I might be "lurking," but I sure do manage to spend a lot of time here, lol.
So 15 minutes it is! Actually, I might even make it the first thing I do when I get home, rather than after dinner. We'll see how it goes!

The point is to strive to do at LEAST 15 minutes every night ... some nights, you will be able to do more, some nights you will not be able to do any ...
but STRIVE to do 15 minutes ...
the secret is consistency and commitment <wave>

Great idea, I'm in.
BTW, I have a book by Nancy Zieman called, 10-20-30 Minutes to Quilt. Maybe now would be a good time for me to pull it out! (Well....maybe after I finish all the things I have planned for Christmas.) ;-)

That's such a fantastic idea! I often do it with larger projects I need to do. I commit to at least a few mingutes, or a piece of the project, and before I know it, it's done. I spend most of my days working on craft projects, so I don't need this particular challenge, but will applaud and encourage those of you who are doing it! It will work!

I'm in. I have a project that I just can't seem to get into the mood to work on it. It needed to be finished by Christmas. Don't know if that will happen but maybe the 15 min a day will help finish it. Thanks for the motivation. I am in!!

I will often listen to my MP3 player with Christian music while I sew. Sometimes the time flies by and I have to remind myself to eat etc, by the way Happy Quilting!!!
