Wow. I find this sort of thing fascinating because it shows how different minds work. My brain would *never* break down sewing tasks into alotted time slots. the closest I get is to think something like "this handsewing should a couple of movies". Or I know from experiance that it takes me a dedicated weekend to make a set of ruffs.

But then, I was a sloth or slow loris in another life. ;-)

This is a scheudule for a workshop that a handful of people are attending, not my personal whip-cracking project schedule (although... I do this sort of thing for myself from time to time.. okay, most of the time).

From my own experience, I can get distracted easily and then people walk away with unfinished projects. The schedule is a guideline that will prevent me from wandering off topic and will help others to also stay on topic. It's been a useful tool in the past.

For me, personally, my free time is so specifically sequestered, if I don't set some sort of "goal" list or something, I don't do anything.
