Okay so basically I have at least 8 unfinished bracelets and I have absolutely no motivation to finish them. If I leave a bracelet unfinished for too long I will lose interest and just cut the strings, use them as scraps for alphas, and start a new bracelet. It's a really bad cycle of just doing like 12 rows on a bracelet then cutting the strings a few weeks later. I like the bracelets I am working on, I just have no motivation whatsoever to finish them. What do you do to keep yourself motivated? Any suggestions help. Thank you!

Hmm.. I don't know if this counts but I like to listen to music and audiobooks and such while making a bracelet.It just seems to keep me focused. I have several unfinished bracelets too. I usually just force myself to try and finish them. Sometimes if I really don't want to continue working on a bracelet I put it away and don't touch it for a while and then when I'm ready I go back to it and I don't let myself start another bracelet till I finish that one.

I motivate myself with a little prize! I might do 10 or 20 rows (while watching youtube or music obvi) and then give my dog lots and lots of snuggles or maybe reward myself with 10 minutes of tiktok. Basically, after 10 or 20 rows i just treat myself to something nice!!

I tend to listen to music mostly when knotting, it really helps me to get into a 'rhythm'. Another thing I like to do, is speak on the phone to someone when knotting.Usually I have no motivation issues because I tend to only do patterns I actually want to do and like, otherwise I get bored with it. Sometimes though when making a specific bracelet for someone I may not be too keen on the pattern (which makes me have zero motivation), so what I tend to do is set goals, for example, do 20 rows then take a break before coming back and doing a few more rows. Another thing you could try is if you are big on shows/movies, when watching them during the boring bits (or commericals) fit in some knotting time. |
