Bogged Down by Too Many Sewing Projects

I have numerous sewing projects and blog posts on the go at once at the moment. This makes it really difficult for me to just focus on one thing and actually get it done. My mind is everywhere at once and nowhere at the same time. I'm working on a dress for myself, which might or might not work out the way I envision it....


...then I'm also working on a men's shirt for an upcoming birthday....


....and another one for another upcoming birthday. Phew!

Yes! Foxes!

Then I'm also planning my April "A Year in Indie Patterns" project and find myself very uninspired, while simultaneously planning my next bra project.

Do you sometimes feel like that? I just wish I could go to a magical sewing and blogging cave where time stands still and I can finish each project in leisurely fashion one at a time. 

Alas, time does not stand still and the only way I can get myself out of this muddle, is by precisely just doing that: one thing after the other. Step by step.

As I once read, "we underestimate what we can do in one year, and overestimate what we can do in a day". This is so true. When you want to do too much in one day, nothing gets done, but taking each step slowly at a time suddenly magically gets much more done than you ever thought was possible.

Do you sometimes feel bogged down by too many projects floating around in your head and on your sewing table? Any strategies for getting yourself back on track again?
