How do you make yourself get a project done?
#1
What tips can you give to how you psych yourself up to get to the sewing machine or needle? I seem to have so many distractions including this computer) that my free time days just whizz by without getting projects worked upon.

I am going to be watching this and see because I am having the same problem I want to do it but just let everything else come first and do not know why it is just me and I can do what I want when I want and still do not do it LOL

Deadlines are very helpful, but not all projects have them. I'm stuck on a project now. Got all 35 blocks made for a QoV quilt, went to square up the blocks and some are too small! It's been sitting for a month as I am so bummed. I guess I'll need to rip out some squares or make new ones. I was being extra careful to cut and sew accurately. More practice is needed I guess.
I'll need to make myself a deadline! Maybe July 4th!

Instead of thinking about finising the whole project, tackle it in small pieces. Give yourself 10-20 minutes to work on the project, then go on to something else. Or maybe plan on finishing one block per day. When I do this I find myself doing more than I planned. And even if I just do 10 minutes I congratulate myself that I got that much done. When you see that stack of blocks piling up it's incentive to keep going.
