Organization = Productivity?

I've realized that if I'm going to accomplish my sewing goals, I'm going to have to be more organized in how I purchase fabric and how I work my way through that fabric. For purchasing fabric, I've been using Evernote to compile a list of patterns I'd like to make (with size and yardage) and fabrics I'd like to use. This has definitely given me a better vision of how my handmades can work together as a wardrobe.

But I have a serious distraction problem. I usually get sidetracked by something new and fun and neglect what I was working on till it gets so low in my basket that it's completely forgotten. Putting fabric for upcoming projects on an open shelf above my workspace has helped so far. The last steps of a project are the most awful and boring for me (hemming suuuuuuucks), but seeing that pretty pile of fabric keeps me going so I can move on to the next, more exciting thing.

Which would now be an Alder shirtdress (view A) made from this:


And of course I plan to wear it for Comic Con.
