Just Create - Sunburn Edition

[silvercat17]

What are you working on? What have you finished? What do you need encouragement on?

Are there any cool events or challenges happening that you want to hype?

What do you just want to talk about?

What have you been watching or reading?

Chores and other not-fun things count!

Remember to encourage other commenters and we have a discord where we can do work-alongs and chat, linked in the sticky

Sorry to hear about the sunburn! I recommend dousing yourself in Noxzema. You'll smell like cloves but that stuff is magic.


I made a spreadsheet of all of my cross stitch unfinished objects that I can think of, and sorted them by "joy quotient" and then by effort remaining. Ta dahh! I have prioritized my backlog.

I gave each UFO two numbers from 1-10: How satisfying would it be to finish this (higher number is good), and how much effort remains (lower number is good). "Joy quotient" is satisfaction divided by effort.

I am very pleased with myself for inventing something called the "joy quotient".

I am a little sad that all I want to work on is low-effort stuff. And that I'm so burnt out at work that I am channeling my backlog frustration into my real-life hobbies. But you know what? Whatever works.

Meanwhile I am about 95% finished with Deer Trail. I'll post some pics when it's finished.

Oh, I love this joy quotient idea!! What a great way to organize projects.

Interesting concept! And working on the low-effort stuff is still creative work.
