I love painting, crafting, would love to learn how to sew, do woodwork, ect. I start something extremely excited about midway through I start thinking of another project and start that while sometimes working on my original project. This happens until I have 10 things going and are so completely overwhelmed I avoid going near where things are. I've always struggled with this but I have kids now and it's not fair to them. I realized my problem is I feel impending doom and it's paralyzing. I've tried reading procrastination help, clearing clutter, organization books and I never finish reading them, I've tried not starting anything until my 1st project is done and I rush through it, so I hate the result. I know I'm afraid of others opinions on my stuff, that plays a role. I feel dread even if I think I am doing a great job. Any advice on why this happens and how to overcome it?

I should add that I do this with housework, laundry, ect. I get 70% done and quit. I'm sure it's because I don't like doing those things.
