The List

So, I was totally worried with the trip this week about my list of things to get done for this challenge. Then I went and checked out my list for the report form and was so surprised to find that I'm already half-way done! Technically, I have 10.5 things done, since I did go through the towels and washrags, but just need to find a way to label the drawers they're in. My nemesis will be the fabric. I don't know why I'm hesitating so much on starting that - maybe it's the fact I have two very full bins of fabric, and lots of projects I still want to complete! I started a mini-organization system with my two bins, though. In one, I have fabric I don't intend to use short-term. The other has been keeping my currently-in-use stuff. And in there, I have a few gallon ziploc bags to keep already cut fabric separated by project. So, if I think about it, it's not so bad. I just know that the fact I made one of my items determining whether something is ever realistically going to be used or not will force me to decide once and for all if that 2-3 yards of faux-suede will EVER become something? (Incidentally, anyone know of potential uses for semi-stretchy brown suede-like material?) Philosophically, I put things on my to-do list for this challenge that I've been putting off. I decided this was the perfect opportunity to motivate myself to finally get them done! (I almost made every item "put away one box from the garage," but realized I wanted to make this possible for myself to complete...) Funny enough, though the fabric sorting feels like the big monster, each item has been something I've had to get myself geared up to do! And, so far, each time, the thing has been WAY LESS EFFORT than I anticipated. Why do I build these things into monumental tasks in my mind? Anyway - do YOU have a nemesis on your list? And do you tend to make a cleaning task (or any other task) a bigger deal than it actually ends up being?
