How can I finish a project?
Okay we all know how to start things, but my question is what are some methods you use to finish a large project, such as writing a book. I start many many things and I don't finish. I love everything I start and eventually I slow down and never complete it. This does not pertain to little things around the house, but huge tasks. I would like to finish and I feel like I'm wasting time.
Answer:
We need to break up overwhelming tasks into small ones. For instance, instead of thinking I must finish three chapters of my book each day--we could say, I must finish two pages of my book each day. Then, if we accomplish more--all the power to us--and, we will not be disappointed.
One at a time. If you relize you are missing a critical part instead of getting it later on your way to the store get it know. Find a day and don't stop till it is done. That's how I do it.
I to have this problem or method. We are project starters. There is nothing wrong with us. We are usually great deligators when a projects looses our interest.
But to answer your question , Stage yourself. Brainstorm up front, prior to starting figure out all the components of your proj. and set yourself a time line. Get excited about each phase so as you go on you accomplishing something and not becoming bored.
I try...and I mean try.to only have two things going at a time. Just one would drive me crazy. I switch off between the two when I get bored with them. Good luck!! That was a great question!
Try making a "Things To Do" list when you see things crossed off you know your not wasting time might be the ticket to really get ya going so you can make another mark. Actually see Progress on paper- no matter how small the task it takes time.Right?
Honey your are a procrastinator with a short attention span. Join the crowd... I am one too. It is who we are. It is part of our identity!
Be very determined to finish a project which you have started. Better still, give yourself a deadline. No matter how much I push you to do that, if you will just sit there and ignore my advice, you will never finish anything.
good question. generally i have three projects going at one time and this has been going on for years. i just have to force myself to finish one. what has worked for me is that at the beginning of each year about the week between Christmas and new year i set out for myself one major project to complete and two minor projects and so far have been successful at this and there are other projects that i encounter through out but these take priority. and i am reading other answers for there may be something in there i can try also.
