With a million ideas out there, how do you decide which ones to do?

For a long time, Steve, I did JUST that, began working on all of them! I now take the projects I'm interested in, and the ones I feel confident I can accomplish. That way I don't let myself down and keep things manageable!

I agree!. I usually prioritize the items that need fixing, like household upkeep items, then move to fun things I would like to try but always keeping in mind that certain things I can't do by myself (like some wood working) and then the cost of other projects. Always try to repurpose before buying new.

Hey Steve! I feel just the same way! I have projects bookmarked that may take YEARS, haha! For me it is a matter of two things, first and foremost....affordability and confidence. Is is just a passing trend or do I truly love it enough to commit to it for a while. Some projects cost the same to make versus buy, so we have to be careful. I guess painting something is my number one go to. It is cheap and instantly updates the look!

I save my "project to do list" in a file on my desktop. First I will pick the ones that fit my time, needs and money abilities. Every couple weeks I will revisit my "list" and find that I can delete some projects because they don't seem to meet my needs as I thought.. Hope this helps.....

I look at my Pinterest list and just that maybe someday I'll accomplish maybe one tenth of them. LOL I find the ones that are related to areas I'm interested in craft wise are usually the ones I actually go on and get to eventually.

Steve, you have to be able to separate "need", from "want"... for example, if you are looking for a coffee table, but along the way find terrific ideas for your garden space, save those ideas and move ahead with one that satisfies your need.

I have this problem too! I have finally narrowed down to a particular room to concentrate on. Or outside area. Then I make a list of what I would like to do or have, and then narrow that down to what is possible!! It helps a little!!
