In my quest to make organization my middle name, I've found a few tools to keep me on track this year.
The Project Girl, who is becoming my go-to for organization ideas has a host of print-ables that I've been using. This one is a Project Master List, which I'm using to jot down project/craft ideas as soon as I come up with them. I'm then trying to think rationally about how long I'll need to complete each project and giving myself a deadline goal.
For my next step I am using an AWESOME app called Weave.
It lets you break each project down into individual tasks, set a date to complete each task and it then gives you reminders of when your completion date is coming up. It also keeps track of how much you've spent on a project, which I think makes this a great app for people who are selling things on Etsy or other sites as it keeps you within budget. It would also probably be a good idea for me to keep track of my budget, but at this point I'm pretty much working out of my fabric and embroidery thread stash, so I think I can postpone concerns about budget for a bit.
My plan is to list the projects I plan to complete each month here on the blog as an added incentive to get those things done. I'm trying to be realistic about the time it will take to finish everything as I've learned that the reminder every day from the Weave app that I'm up against my own deadline is really guilt-inducing!
So an update here soon on my projects for February and their progress. Hope everyone is keeping warm and enjoying 2012.
