What would you say if I told you that a prehistoric human tendency could make you a more productive quilter and planner user today? Sounds like a stretch? Maybe not as much as you might think…
Wooly Mammoths & Quilting Bees
We humans have known for quite some time that belonging to a group focused on shared interests and a positive outcome has countless benefits. Our ancestors sought safety in numbers to help survive the dangers of pre-historic life, and – more recently in history– women gathered together at quilting bees to stitch, nurture community bonds, and share information. Today’s equivalent to quilting bees (and other supportive groups) often exist online. The Quilter’s Planner Facebook Group is a modern example of what our ancestors new was most important in life – connection with others who share your passion and interests. We know now, that an online community can make a world of difference to your life, quilting, and productivity.
Studies show that long-term success is greatly increased by having a support system in place as you work towards a goal. Popular modern examples? Having a workout buddy, membership-based weight-loss programs, and training for a marathon as part of a group. Having others who can relate, and offer helpful hints, can be invaluable.
