Unfinished projects

So how do you handle unfinished projects?  For example,

1) scrapbooking - I have major guilt over this at times.  My daughter has at least 3 FULL scrapbooks devoted to her life ages 0-6 yrs.  Then this little bouncy bundle named Jacob came along and Kalissa's albums are frozen in time, and I think Jacob has 2 pages done, only because a friend of ours made 2 pages from photos at the hospital and included them in his baby gift.

2) writing - I have started writing several short stories. I love writing but my mind has to be in the story and for a while there, it became stressful to think about writing, so I stopped.  I really would like to get back to it, but it just never happened.

3) Genealogy - I started while Kalissa was a baby and LOVED the stories I found. I loved learning about my family and the country at the time via their diaries and such I found.  I am not sure this is a project you ever finish because there's sooo much you can find. I loved it and I had several trips I wanted to take to see the area where my family is from, to visit libraries and get copies of records....but the stuff was boxed up for a move and has never been unboxed.

Those are the major personal projects...but then there's the other projects I have I want to do for my family, charities, etc....I have always felt I was a good organized person who kept busy and did a lot of things, but today I'm feeling overwhelmed and I know the tricks...make a list, set a timer, blah blah... But at the same time, I don't feel overwhelmed and lacking motivation on the things that I "have to get done" which is what the timers and such works for...I can get the coupons sorted, I can get the emails for GFH answered, etc.  It's the BIG things...like scrapbooking that I can't get motivated to do and I don't even know where to fit it in anymore.

I think I have made myself work alone too long :(

Some Many Projects ... So Little Motivation

Ok, so do you have tons of projects that you have started and just never seem to find the time to work on them or better yet finish them?

I have TONS of them.  Some are LONG overdue to be finished, such as my son's baby scrapbook that hasn't even been started.  Others are things I want to do, but haven't set down to do them, like scanning in some documents and then burning them to a CD. 

So this blog is one I'm hoping to get comments on....how do you get things done? I'm not talking the daily things like laundry, washing dishes and cooking supper.  I can do the daily stuff, but it seems that by time I do the daily/weekly things, homeschooling, and running the kids to all their activities, there's no time for the other stuff.  I know I waste time online and I have started watching TV again. I used to never watch TV. 

There's some of the "projects" I want to get done....in no special order:

• scan the cub scouts popcorn forms so I could destroy the actual pieces of paper. (Do I really need to keep these? I feel like I should, but at the same time, I don't have a good reason to why I would ever need to look back at them.)
• scan the GFH volunteer forms (need kept for records)
• make J's baby scrapbook
• finish the scrapbook of hubby's childhood photos (I started this when K was about 3, and she's now 14).
• get back into genealogy research and find more interesting stories about my family.
• de-clutter and organize the game closet
• de-clutter and organize the office
• work on some cross-stitching projects that I started and frankly don't even remember what I started.
• work on the quilt I started before J was even born
• hang the decoration we picked out and purchased when we were redoing the master bedroom
• repaint the baseboards in the kids bathroom to finish the painting of that room.
• Get the GFH donated games checked, sorted, and stored (not in our garage waiting), so they can be used in the game library program.
• Redo my kitchen on a non-existing budget.

I'm sure there's more projects that I want to get done, but that's all that comes to mind as I type this.  Now it's a question of how do I get any of these things done? I really don't believe I don't have time...It's more I don't have the interest or motivation to do them things, but yet I don't want to give up the desire to do them.  But now it's time to fold clothes, so guess I'll work/think on it another time.  Suggestions?
