Why do we lose interest and don’t finish what we planned?

Have you noticed that people very often starts with a great inspiration and then just lose interest and can’t finish what they started? It happens really often. You should be very strong-willed to finish a thing that you don’t want to do anymore. But why does it happens? And how to prevent it?

I will discuss this question using my personal experience. It is about a book I want to write by myself. After reading “Getting things done” and other motivational books I decided to make my childhood dream come true. I was so inspired with this idea and my imagination. I already had some ideas about what things to write. And when I started I was really amaze with the process. It’s seemed that my hand wrote separately from my brain. Even I didn’t know what will happen the next moment. It was really interesting for me. However than there became more homeworks to do, exams to prepare for and I didn’t have time to write. And after a time passed I noticed that I don’t want to write anymore. I lust don’t have inspiration. I still wanted to become a writer, I still dreamed about books, even new ones, but I couldn’t made myself to sit down and write even a single word.

However, after some time passed I saw an article about what will help you to write, but it also can help with any other things. So, here are the tips I used:

1. Write everyday, you can even not to write a lot of time on it. Even 10–20 minutes a day is enough. But you still can write something, or do something, so you won’t use your motivation.
2. Write, or do, even something, even a really small thing, just in order not to lose interest.
3. And the best time to come up with some creative ideas is morning. So you can wake up and write some small tips with your ideas, so, when in the evening you will write something, or do, it will be much easier for you.

Using all these tips I returned my inspiration and started writing again. In the start it was really hard to make myself to write. But a while ago it became a habit. So, if you lost your inspiration just try to use this tips as I did. And I hope that it will help to you either.)
