We used to jokingly (sort of) call my little brother Half Job. His talent for starting chores and not finishing them and then trying take off to do something more fun was famous. I confess, I am starting to recognize some of this trait in myself and I am hating it.
I am really great at dreaming up and starting projects, but not so good at finishing them. It is a personality flaw that I have set my mind on overcoming. Starting and not finishing projects means that they just sit around and collect dust and take up valuable space in my house. Thus, creating more chaos in my life. I have an office full of good ideas and not-yet-completed projects. We also have a bunch of odd projects around the house to be completed to get our home into better shape.
Last weekend, I set a goal. I am working through all open projects before I take on anymore. (Yikes! That sounds so painful.) I am trying to only go to stores for supplies to put finishing touches on already started projects. I was able to get a big pile of holey husband clothes repaired, out of the office and back into his closet. We also started and completed a fun baby gift that is going to make its way to the mailbox tomorrow morning.
Okay, here I go. If you can’t find me I am hiding away in my office trying to tackle the denim quilt that I have piles of jeans stored up to cut into squares.
