How to Sort the Unfinished Pile in 15 Minutes
Hello, you.
Quilts, knitting, crochet, sewing, the deck. No judgement here. Just 15 minutes and four piles.
SET A TIMER FOR 15 MINUTES
- Pull out everything from one cupboard, basket or bag. Just one.
- Sort each project into four piles:
- Keep going: you still want to finish it.
- Resting: not now, but not never.
- Pass it on: a friend, a guild or the op shop would love it.
- Done as it is: it's finished. It just looks different to the plan.
- Put a note in each "keep going" project: what it is and where you got to.
- Stop when the timer goes. That's the job done.
It's not a to-do list. It's a record of every evening you spent making something.
