Always Have A Craft Project Available

Members Were Sparked

Having a craft project available helps me curb my cravings for snacks when I am bored. It kills two birds with one stone - I get the craft project done (and quickly start another) and I keep from eating out of boredom!

I am the same way, I keep myself busy by making beaded dream catchers and jewelry as well as keychains. I have fun when I make them, thats what you should try hun, keep yourself busy and happy.

That is a great idea. when I am bored, because the fridge is basically in the middle of my house, I end up opening the thing about 50 times a day. I am going to start putting all my craft stuff at my work space for bordom. make it as easy to access as the fridge.

Hide incompleted projects

If I stack my desk with all of my in-progress, or to-be-started projects, looking at it all stresses me out. To reduce the stress, I keep a to-do list on the desk, but I put all of the papers, supplies, etc. out of sight in a drawer or closet. I only have my active project (bill paying, crafts, whatever) out in plain sight.
