Some people call it a rush, a desire, a muse, but whatever it is, it always hits in multiples, fast and furious. Finish a project, and you can think of 20 things you need/want to do next. Start a project, and you feel the desire to start another gazillion before you finish.
So this morning, while in the midst of crushing grapes to make jelly, I'm thinking about laundry, cleaning the house, AND two quilt projects and another organization project I want to tackle. Did I mention I'm supposed to be at the gym?
I took this class a few weeks ago on Tuesday morning, some-what enjoyed it (though I had a severe muscle cramp early in that took 3 days to get rid of) and was contemplating bringing on an early death by going again when I realized there was absolutely no way I was going to get everything done that HAD to be done today before I left. Plus the fact it was time to go and I wasn't ready. Trivial details.
So what is it that makes some of us want to flit from one task to another? A lack of discipline? The enjoyment of the rush of emotions that come with new things? Hormones?
What is your motivation to finish projects? Or do you even require one? Deadlines? The desire for completion? Space? A nagging person?
