A result from the quiz What Kind of Procrastinator Are You?
The Idea Hopper
Starting is the fun part. Finishing is where you get stuck.
You don't struggle to start, you struggle to finish. New ideas feel exciting, and by the time the boring middle arrives, something more interesting has turned up.
Ideas aren't the problem. They just need somewhere to wait while you finish what you started.
Things to try
- Keep an "ideas parking" note, so new ideas wait without being lost.
- Before starting something new, finish the smallest open thing.
- Write the finish line in one sentence and stick it where you can see it.
