The most important thing to do…

The most important thing for me to do is to get my quilting business off the ground.  Have I worked on this at all since January 1?  Well I did clear some space in my studio.  So, now I at least WANT to work on the quilts.

So the question is why do I keep putting this off?  Fear of failure? Procrastination rearing its ugly head?  Lazy?  No time? Putting everyone and everything before me?

Well there is definitely a fear of failure.  I mean, this is what I want to do with my life.  I think I’m pretty good at it.  I enjoy quilting, more than any other “thing” I’m doing in my life.

Procrastination I have battled all my life.  But usually, things I want to do get done without a lot of “putting off”.

Lazy?  I think not.  I work hard.  I do like to play games and watch TV, but a couch potato I am not.  Let me add, “on most days”.

Time Management has always been an issue, but mainly because of Procrastination.  That way the result doesn’t have to be “perfect”.

Putting everything and everyone in front of me, rings true to my ears. I don’t know what it is, but I seem to have to do “chores” before I can take time to do what pleases me.  This is true with my practice on the violin as well.

So now the question is “what do I need to make it happen?”  A goal and objectives.  A to-do list. The mindset of “15 minutes a day”.

I make a promise to myself to spend 15 minutes a day at the sewing machine quilting.  I’ll let you know next week how it goes!  Watch for pics of my quilted baby quilts!
