1. Write "to do" list.
2. Try to stick to "to do" list and not add any more projects.
3.Work through things "to do" and tick them off.
4. Don't be a slave to the list, let it help you, not rule your life!
4. Don't be distracted by all the fabulous projects that you find.
5. Don't avoid the "to do " list and end up tidying fabric
6. Try to only buy fabric for things on the "to do " list
I wrote my "to do" list at the end of May and apart from rule number 1, I think I have broken all the rest.
I love writing lists, it makes me feel organised and helps me to be a bit less stressed as I try to juggle lots of things in my head at once. This one however had been going on for a while now and I am determined to get through it all. It should keep me going until Christmas! ( if I don't get distracted!)

Hi
I know what you mean about lists, I find them very satisfying - they release you brain space (and I definitely need that) to concentrate on other things once they are down in black and white, and ooh what a boost when you can actually cross things off. I even find myself writing down things I've already done, just so I can put a tick by them!
I never seem to get to the end of my list though as something is always being added on.
I am with you on the list front...it keeps everything in good order in my head ! The best thing though is re-reading them years later...how sad am I !

I write lists all the time, just to remind myself what I need to do. But like many never manage to tick all the items off! Re Burda I had a few problems too.
Rules are made to be broken, so they say. I am at the stage of forgetting that I made the list.
There is a lot of comfort to be had in writing a list, even if you subsequently ignore it, as I always seem to! I have a series of to-do lists which I've lost track of completely. I seem to mentally tick off things as 'done' in spite of not having started them!
I'm not sure about the burda style question - I managed to register without problems. Might be worth emailing them.
i love the first item...write to do list, thats usually about as far as I get...
I can totally relate to your posting about to do lists - I love writing them too and more often than not either lose the list or get distracted by other things. My current list has 70 things on which is a bit overwhelming...I do love the feeling of ticking them off though. Thanks for your comment today.
