This is one I really need - I have way too many projects going on (or supposed to be going on) right now.

Task - Examine all of the projects you have not completed. To locate them, look into files, inside drawers, in closets, even under the bed. As they surface, make a list of things you promised yourself, or others, to do. Divide the list into Big Projects and Small Projects. See how many you come up with in 30 minutes. Then ask yourself "Which projects can I get rid of? Which are a burden? Which ones are totally unrealistic? Which ones am I willing to start today?" Finally, drop one project from your life and box up all its paraphernalia. Recylce it or pitch it. Feel the relief . . .

I'm going to go make my list now.

This is a good one!

THe project and paraphenalia that I am choosing to do away with is the scrapbooking! I have not yet completed one scrapbook and I can't tell you how much stuff I have! I feel bad bc my MIL got a bunch of it for xmas this past year, but, realistically, it just stresses me out thinking about how much i have to do. I like the convenience of ordering photo books online...

Anywho, it may take me until the rest of the day to figure out what other projects are pending.

Thanks for the post!

Okay, I have fifteen started and unfinished projects. That's just CRAZY!!!

Scrapbooking is a hard one for me - I love to do it, but I just don't have the time right now. However, I'm not ready to give it up yet, although I bet it did feel freeing to decide not to do it!!!

I did clean out two of them - I put prices on one for our upcoming garage sale and the other was a bunch of clipped recipes - I threw them out! It felt great.

I think I'm going to start another project this afternoon on my next work break and then re-evaluate the list tomorrow to see what else I can get rid of or start!
