From my Litttle Book of Calm by Paul Wilson.
"Decide to be organised
Set aside twenty minutes a day for decision - making and organisation. Be sure to make at least one decision every time."
So sitting down and thinking (pretty hard to do when your head is in so many places), I made the decision to do "two things" each day, any extra "thing" would be a bonus but it did't matter if I didn't do anything else apart from my "two things". To my surprise I have found that this works really well. I'm getting things done - my list is getting smaller - I feel good about what I have done and not worried about what I haven't - it will get done! The guilt feelings about crafting when I should be doing a "thing" has been lifted, and I'm finding my mojo is returning to creative mode. If this is being calm and organized - I like it! If you too are stressed; too busy; bogged down; lack of go - will this work for you too? Worth a try....especially if you're feeling like I did!!
Tomorrow I'll show you what has arrived on my desk and what I have had time to play with!!!!

Thanks so much for the ideas - it seems like there is just too much going on - we're traveling so much that I can't get anything done (in fact I'm getting ready to leave tomorrow for the NC mountains for a skiing trip with all the kids and grandkids). I love the time with the family but I wish I could slow down a little! And I do also have trouble scrapping when I have a To Do List a mile long! I WILL be trying your tips as soon as I get back! LOL!!

Ikki, you give us such ideas and inspiration, thank you so mucch for sharing your precious time with us.
Oh how I relate to the feelings that you've expressed - so much to do you don't know where to start so nothing gets done! I'm going to try this suggestion. Perhaps it will work for me to!
