It’s almost over
Not so subtle
Some folks are great at the beginning, and some reach their stride at the end. But there are more projects that remain undone than completed. Either they just go undone from lack of interest or aren’t needed or the timing is off. Many books aren’t read all of the way to the end because the reader gets distracted. There is no rule that states that all books must be read to the end when they aren’t enjoyed after the first hundred pages. Movies can be this way also unless you are in the theater in the dark with that delicious large barrel of popcorn. If you can think of the stuff that keeps you engaged to the end, it tends to be something that creates excitement. Or, it is the fact that you just don’t mop half of the kitchen floor once you start. Cereal bowls might have milk left in them but usually the crunchy delicious stuff has been consumed. And no one leaves the house without pants. Humans do finish things, but they don’t get the right credit. There are little hacks that help. If something can be completed within a short amount of time, it is easier to just get it done. Or some people swear by keeping the mail by the place where trash is kept so that the junk is quickly recycled. But the highest criteria for whether a project or task gets completed is the way we value it. Perhaps the next time something goes unfinished is a great time to decide on its worth to you.
Undeserving
Option #1: When did you last leave something undone?
Option #2: Can you feel undone?
Option #3: Is there any reason not to finish something?
That’s it. After you choose the option that best describes completing projects to you, take a few minutes to describe why you chose that option and what action, if any, may come next.
