What project do you need to 'just do it' and finish it? I spent two years doing genealogy into a

computer family tree. I was meticulous. I had a family tree that went back 6 generations from 1898. Now I just have to order the latest version of the program and transfer the data to the program, burn 50 CDs and send them off to all the people I have addresses for. Some of them are 5th cousins. Problem is the program will periodically ask that we donate the family history to their corporation. And I don't want that - that would mean my family and all of their descendants will be paying for the data, which will be free at the archives or from me, into infinity. Once it is out of my hands I'm sure this will happen. Multiple times.

I sewed my mom a dressing gown. I just have to hem it and it would work great for her. It has been sitting ready to be finished for 9 years.
