I propose the following rules:
- One project per week - no more, no less.
- At the end of the week, we switch to a new project, for one of two reasons:
EITHER: The project is finished! Proceed to have a small party (an edible indulgence qualifies) OR: The project is now old news and boring, both to project director and blog readers. - Projects may be revisited, but no more than once per month.
- At the start of the week, post the intended project. Pictures are always nice (note to self- get a new camera).
- At the end of the week, post the completed project (Yay!) Or post the project's progress (not as exciting, but life happens - and some projects take multiple weeks. Again, pictures! (again - camera!)
- Don't leave a project hanging, even if no progress has occurred - just post that it didn't happen this week. There's no judgment here.
- Though it may be difficult, try to pick a project that has been sitting unfinished in the back of your closet, not a brand new shiny one. Urgent projects, such as Halloween costumes or Christmas cards, are exempt from this suggestion.
- Though it may be more difficult, try to refrain from working on projects other than your chosen one of the week. If you're done, take a much-needed break! If you're not, work on the one you decided to. It's worse when you put it off.

I daresay I can think of some kind of project that could be worked on.
ReplyDeleteKatie,
ReplyDeleteThis is actually a beautiful set of rules for me and my papers! I need to finish one before I start on the shiny new ideas ; ^ ) However, in addition to Halloween costumes and Christmas cards, I might have to add annoying grant proposals. We should post "Katie's Eight" in the office here ; ^ )
