Pacing Partner

Have you ever considered signing up for a pacing partner for your scrap booking projects? The idea has been floating around in my head for some time now but I just didn’t know what to call it until one day I overheard this title used and thought “ah-ha!” A pacing partner is simply a person who helps to keep you motivated in getting your scrap booking projects completed. We all know how easy it is to have good intentions but then those good intentions start piling up on your craft desk till the day you can no longer find the craft desk, just a pile of “I’ll get to it some day.”

For the pacing partnership to work successfully you both need to be honest with each other. Set reasonable and realistic goals (don’t get over zealous and say you’ll complete your wedding album in one day). And most importantly, you need to be accountable to yourself. Your pacing partner is not going to come over and do the work for you.

So, if you need some extra motivation to get those projects completed but don’t want to leave the house to do so, enlist the help of a friend to be your pacing partner. With regular friendly phone calls and e-mails I am sure it will keep you motivated to one day show off those great completed projects.
