4 Tips On How To Manage Time To Complete Craft Projects
July 2nd, 2008
I am happy to report I just finished machine quilting four table toppers. I am like you—I have a very busy life. I wanted to share my organizing tips and time management ideas on how I accomplished this. I had a time frame that needed to be met.
•I made it a priority in my day. Things get in the way so I literally set a time when I would go into my sewing room and quilt. I turned on my book on tape and listened and quilted.
•Get up one-half hour earlier and work on projects before anyone else is up.
•I didn’t let the phone interfere; I took a break after the first one was finished and I then listened to messages and returned calls.
•I quilted for an hour and then I worked for half an hour and repeated this until I was done.
This is a great way to accomplish projects of any kind. I like the ratio of 2 to 1. Do the fun things twice as long as the ‘have to’ things. This way I work harder, smarter and faster on the ‘have to do’ things so it all gets done anyway.
How do you motivate yourself to get things done?
