There is no such thing as TOO MANY IDEAS!

Truth!!! This is one for my Facebook page! Doesn't sound like you'll be making another quilt anytime soon :) But you're right about the focusing. I was able to finish a quilt because I allowed myself to focus on that ONE project of many projects.

Isn't this the TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are like a surgeon who opened my brain and plucked the problem right out and put it on display for the whole damn world! This is now on my favorite list and I will be visiting it whenever I need reminding to just stop the excuses and the pissing and moaning...probably daily at first but this will act as the swift kick in the pants that I need and I hope I don't have to watch it at all in the near future! Thanks Dr. Margaret!

I am working on an art festival, hold down a job, have a family, a yard to tidy before summer, study to complete, videos to edit and I want to start painting but I am sitting here watching you! Avoidance behaviour FTW!

Wonderfully said, and so true!

Exceptional video, thanks so much for putting these thought out there.

Excellent advice tree! Very enjoyable! I bought a guitar that I don't know how to play..And I made a video and song about my "guitar that I don't know how to play": where i was able to use only one string!!! I still don't know how to play but I am up to 2 chords now LOL I'll attach it LOL Thanks tree!

Thanks Margaret! Alot of us need to be told this and reminded that we're wasting time by making all these excuses. I get lost in all the ideas but when i CAN focus it seems the ideas actually transfer themselves in strange and amazing ways.

AMEN! 'Think less DO MORE'! My mantra..great vlog Margaret!! Featuring it on my social network site!

[tyrbolo]

LOL

We have seen the problem and it was in our mirror !!

[yarnexpress]

You are so very right--get on with it! I stopped moaning & started doing when I realized that everyday that I COULD is a blessing. Time is flying by "this same flower that smiles today tomorrow will be dying" Morbid but it got me off my butt.

[FreidasGarden]

You wonder how anyone can be bored.

I'm always telling certain people, if you spent half as much time working on the project instead of complaining about it, it would be done by now.

But, really, I'm starting on the new book next week. Really.

Heh heh. I have a lot of animation ideas, but lack of technical skill delays them, and then I'm off on a another project.

[tommy30507]

Margaret, I think you were speaking directly to me about my art!!!! Thank you for posting this. YouTube should FEATURE THIS VIDEO.

[atree3]

@tommy30507 You seem very productive to me, but you know best. Hope this helps

[amjPeace]

You just have to start thinking of the ideas themselves as "fruit."

And if you do actually put the idea into action, that's frosting on the cake.

No guilt.

[atree3]

@amjPeace Excellent. That takes it to another level.
