Project Name: List your projects in a priority order.
Date Needed: When does your work have to be finished, not when you have to mail it, wrap it, etc.!
"Work On" Date and Time: Make an appointment with yourself to work on your project for an hour or more. For example, if you estimate that the project will take 10 hours, then divide your time into manageable "chunks", say 2.5 hours every Sunday for 4 Sundays. Then you can honestly say that it took you "a month of Sundays" to finish it! :-)
Did It!: Just check off if you kept your appointment with yourself for your stitching.
Carried Forward: It's inevitable that occasionally you have to rearrange your stitching times to accomodate other needs. Simply put the date you've chosen to carry forward that work you'd planned to do on your project.

Do make time for yourself and the things you enjoy doing. We don't hesitate to rearrange our lives to keep appointments with others, so why not make the same effort to keep an appointment with yourself? Watch some TV, or put on some relaxing music, have a nice cup of tea (but keep it away from your lovely stitching to avoid spills!), turn on your telephone's answering machine and do what you love to do most! It's actually very healthy for you too!
