Project Rotation

I have a confession to make...I'm not sure if I mentioned this in a previous post or not but I'm a serial starter. I start projects all the time but I don't seem to be able to finish them. I posted on one of the forums that I am a serial starter and one lady showed me a rotation schedule. I had also said that I had to finish my four favourite projects before I started anything else. When I found out about this rotation process I jumped at the chance to finish projects that I was no longer excited about.

I took what I learned in that rotation process and created my own. 

I bought a notebook of grid paper and took all my projects that I had going. I couldn't believe that I had ten projects! Only three of those projects are small so that means seven big projects or BAP (big ass project)!


So once I created the chart I started stitching. I work on one project for ten hours and then move onto the next. I haven't made it through the whole rotation and I've already completed a project! (I'll post more about that project later...I'm awfully proud it!) After I've completed ten hours I mark the project with an x, if I complete a project then I mark it with a c and with the amount of hours it took. 

Once I've completed a project I allow myself to start another project. I always have to have a minimum of four projects with a maximum of nine projects, it's a personal rule so I don't get waaay overwhelmed with too many projects. I've gotten more done in the past three weeks than I did all last year! I completed nothing at all last year. 

I have another notebook with lists of projects that I want to do. Some of these projects are already kitted up. My notebook also has lists of different floss colours I need or projects I want to buy. 

Off to do some more stitching! Will post more later!

Happy musings!
