My goal this month is to gather all my unfinished projects and decide to finish or move on with each project. I have many of the projects already stored in individual plastic containers (Iris totes, etc). Lists are helpful to me, and I thought maybe I'd install a whiteboard or chalkboard in my craft room and list them there as a visual reminder and cross off when done. What do you do?

I use Habitica.com for projects and every-day to-do lists as well.

Another Evernote user here, too. Keeps everything in one spot between home and work.

I currently use Wunderlist, but I think I need a whiteboard or chalkboard physically in my craft room instead. I really need the visual reminder - it basically has to be staring me in the face in order for me to remember, lol. SaveSave |

I just ordered a small whiteboard to put in my craft room. I'm tired of random pieces of paper with lists and due dates for crafty projects. Hopefully, the whiteboard will be the thing I need to keep me on track.

I don't organize my projects. I just work on whichever I happen to be motivated to do. My stuff is just for fun though. I don't have anything that has to be done at all, ever.

I am a paper planner girl, so I keep my lists there. I try and make a reasonable timeline or goal for each project (or stage of a bigger project) and put it in my planner. I hate not finishing something and having to move it to another week/month so that is a big motivator for me to stay on schedule when I have a lot out there and feel the need to be productive.

I love the idea of a whiteboard.
I have a nice notebook where I list my projects, based on the photos I have printed.

I keep all my lists and notes for projects in an 8 1/2 by 5 1/5 three ring binder.

Same here - except if I'm working on say cards for an upcoming birthday or something. I have constant deadlines in my work, so like my hobbies to be for fun and what I just feel like doing. |

I have a whiteboard that I use. I also make post-it-note lists.

It's supposed to be a fun hobby. I don't have objectives, goals, or todo lists. Except for nap time.

I just keep a post it note with pages I am working on. I am generally a very organized person, but with my hobby, I have to relax.

I have a lot of fun, not to mention get a lot of peace and relaxation with this hobby. I also have a lot of specific things that I want to accomplish, so I like to have a list of ideas and projects. I would not want a whiteboard or chalkboard in my space, however. I have a piece of canvas that did not work out for a project. I use a Sharpie to list projects on it. I can sit it out so it is in view, or tuck it away when I don't care to have it in view.
I've been using the canvas for awhile now. The fun thing is seeing what I have checked off and how my interests have changed. People I've done wedding albums for now are getting baby albums. LOL

I do use Evernote for my dies, stamps and embossing folder inventory. But I am an out of sight, out of mind, so I do need something right in front of me. Prenticekid your canvas idea sounds fun. I could "recycle" one of the paintings I didn't like from a paint party I've attended! |
