I’m a pretty strict 10-hour rotator (most of the time, at least). I find the best way to stick to my rotation is to be organised. I use the rotation spreadsheet, and keep all my WIPs in a folder along with the printed rotation sheet. I also have a timer to keep track of stitching time. It’s tedious getting organised, but I think it’s worth it.

I have a rotation problem like you do. Working full-time, you don’t always have time to stitch every day. Instead of doing a 10 hour rotation though, what I do is a weekely rotation. One week I’ll work on project A, the next week I’ll work on project B, etc.
Currently I have 4 major projects going, so it works out nicely. Every project gets attention once a month.
Good luck!

Your thought process sounds similar to mine today. I just entered a blog entry stating almost the exact same thing, but different projects, of course.

Good luck on making some progress on your rotation. Remember, every stitch is one more closer to the finish.

My rotation has totally evolved since I started. I also do not get to stitch every day. Rather than have a “on Monday I’ll stitch ‘A’ and on Tuesday I’ll stitch ‘B’” rotation, I have an order in which I stitch each piece. If I miss a day, I just continue down the list on whatever day I do get to stitch. It works for me.

Good luck with starting up your rotation again. I still go by the screaming project method, but have often wondered if I actually tried one like your 10 hr. method if I might get more done.
