I'm going to list things in some order of priority and/or deadline. Things that really NEED to get done will be highlighted, things that aren't highlighted would be nice to get done, but not necessary. These items are really just the things that I'd like to get done by the end of 2012. There are an endless amount of projects I want to do in my lifetime, so for now, I'll just count Pinterest as that list. ;) I'll update this post as I check things off the list. Not that I expect anyone to come back and check on me, but this is really just for me.

So with about 8 weeks left in the year, I figure if I can knock out 2 items most weeks, I can get it all done. At the very least, getting one highlighted thing done per week will at least get all those important things done. I feel good with this little schedule because it doesn't put a lot of pressure on me to get EVERYTHING done. And since half of the highlighted items are partially complete, it shouldn't be too hard to fit in some extra things too.
Now I'm super motivated to get cracking on these projects! Do you have a list like this that you're sharing on your blog? Let me know, I'd love to see it! It might remind me of something else I wanted to do. Ha!
I love this! I've thought of making a list like this but haven't ever followed through. I want to make a "page" that has all my works in progress on it with links to posts. I hope you check everything off your list by the end of the year! Best of luck :D
ReplyDeleteOh man that is quite a list! I hope your list helps you manage the load. I've found recently that because of the stuff i want to get done, i dont end up blogging!
ReplyDeleteI'm also making an advent calendar - mine is based off the Sew Mama, Sew tutorial, which is mostly a way to integrate pockets into a quilt. Im using stamps instead of applique which is helping the process go much faster!
