Lately I have been trying to multi-task and I feel like I am becoming quite the juggler. I do feel like I live at the circus sometimes so I guess this is a good outlook on my life right now.
I spent the last month making items to sell, custom work, gift quilts and all this at the same time I was decorating, cooking, baking and shopping.
Just as I thought life was going to settle down I realized I still have custom orders to finish, make items for my Etsy shop, a gift quilt to make and I am still cooking, cleaning and shopping. Life is never dull around here and thank God I don't have little ones to run after or else I would really be in trouble.
Some of my Quiltsy Team members on Etsy have actually listed the number of UFOs they will work on this year, but honestly, I am overwhelmed by the task of making a list. I admire them for their commitment and their ability to organize themselves in this manner but for me that would require more time than I feel I have in one day.
Mult-tasking, I guess the reality of the word is being able to work on more than one thing at a time and still accomplish a goal of finishing. I don't know if I will ever be able to be a true multi-tasker in the real meaning of the word as I understand it. Maybe I am wrong but if you don't finish anything are you truly multi-tasking or just disorganized? Time will tell if I am a true multi-tasker, but at least for today I feel like I am accomplishing a few smaller goals.

I know exactly how you feel. There are just not enough hours in a day to do all I want to do. I joined the UFO challenge, but seriously wonder when I am going to have the time to work on it.
