Creative To Do Lists- No More Procrastinating

I’m a HUGE procrastinator and I mean huge! I have a pile of projects half finished and another list of things I need to start, but all these things mean is that I am too uncertain and overwhelmed about what I should do first.

Enter a creative to do list. It’s a new weekly list that I write out every Monday morning to ensure that I actually do something during the week other than procrastinate and start and stop projects but finish none.

I’ve been doing it for a few weeks now and so far it’s working.

I also made up this little printable that I hang above my craft space:

If you click on the image below you will be able to download it if you are keen to try it out too. I printed mine on 6×4 photo paper so that I can simply re-use it every week as I am writing on it with whiteboard markers.

Just re-size the image to whatever size you need.

Some weeks I don’t have things on EVERY day, but it feels good to have a plan and something to work towards.

Do you procrastinate or are you able to work towards crafty goals with ease?

I am a major procrastinator! I have been working on a crochet blanket for my husband for a year and a half. I’ve been meaning to work on some things for my baby. I’m 25 weeks pregnant, and I haven’t made anything for him yet. Shame on me! lol

  I can’t even tell you how many half finished projects I currently have. I’m 30 weeks pregnant and have only just started working my way through my to make list for this baby.
  
  I’m getting there though. Hopefully you can find your baby sewing mojo soon.
