I am a list maker, too, but I feel discouraged when I accomplish only a tiny fraction of what I've planned for the day, the week, or whatever. I have a Master List, then each day I make a daily To Do list... Very often I don't finish the things that NEED to be done (hence the empty fridge and giant mountain range of dirty laundry in the upstairs hall at the moment) and so I don't make it into my sewing room at all. So I'm trying hard NOT to have goals for my sewing hobby, and think of it like relaxing in a bubble bath or with a few rounds of golf. No one expects golfers or bubble-bathers to produce a finished product, right? If I ever finish a quilt, it's a BONUS; the objective for me is the process, not the product.

It's helped me keep all the stripes going in the same direction in a block. But you really have to pay attention.
