Day Twenty-Nine


UFOs
(Un-Finished Objects)

Don't worry, this isn't the part where I tell you to finish all those projects you have in your to-do pile - I would certainly need a lot more than one day for that! This is just about getting them off your desk (or chair, side table, floor...) and into an organised space.

Grab an A4 sheet of scrap paper and fold it in half - you'll need one sheet for each of your unfinished projects. Make notes on the paper, starting with what the project is, what materials are required and what still needs to be completed. Place the items you already have for the project inside the folded paper and secure with a paperclip. Now place all those make-shift folders into a basket or box and keep them close by your work space. Each time you find yourself looking for something to do, grab out one of the projects and get to work!



P.S. Don't throw out that scrap paper once your project is complete. Use it again for another UFO, to make notes, or to keep your work space clean when you're spraying mediums or testing pens.
