This Quitting Habit Won’t Sabotage My Writing Life
No longer shall I be queen of unfinished things.
Standing in front of a wall of yarn at Michael’s, I had an epiphany. Well, not really an epiphany-epiphany, but a slap upside the head that I had no business buying another skein of yarn to disappear into my already large stash. I’ve no idea what most of that yarn is for, but I sure do like to start new projects. It’s exciting!
So, I searched the internet for the possible reasons I am an “unfinisher.” You know what that is, right?
You probably do because I found countless articles written about why people drop projects like hot potatoes. I now know that I am not the only “queen of unfinished projects.” I’m one of millions! I learned, too, how to overcome this very common problem and find the power inside me to finish the stuff I start.
When I get on a roll with something, it’s really hard for me to put it down unfinished. — Taylor Swift
Hush up, Taylor.
As I retire from a career in higher education, I feel my goals shifting and that means the projects I am taking on are changing in focus as well.
