Just Begin!

If there is one secret to getting things done --- anything, not just photo projects --- the secret is that you need to just simply "begin"! Once you start, the rest seems to take care of itself. This is true for whatever project you want to accomplish. Big projects like making a quilt, or little projects like making a sandwich. Although this advice comes directly from a great friend who has completed several albums, it is similar to the advice that our teachers gave us in school when we agonized over a writing or speech assignment. That advice was to just start writing!

Give yourself a time limit .....

You and I both know that without time limits, things never seem to get done, so you must --- must --- must determine when your photo project needs to be completed by!

Gather all your "recipe" supplies!

If you've ever taken a cooking class, the first thing the instructor requires you to do is to gather all the supplies for your intended dish. You cannot start cooking until you have everything gathered and measured. It's very important to find your supplies & ingredients, measure the spices, and cut up all the components first. Then you move on to the process of cooking. It really makes things go quickly and smoothly!

Use this same approach with your album projects, and you'll find that the process will be so much easier when you get started!
