"Self-starters are OK, but what I really want are self-finishers."
Tommy Canterbury
This is such a familiar theme... Not sure if it's just home-based business people who are afflicted or symptomatic of a generalized time-management issue we all deal with, but staying focused and completing projects is a recurring topic for many of the clients I work with. And me too, if I am completely honest.
Motivation and performance guru Wes Hopper says "What I've found is that multi-tasking is a trap. The more open projects I have, the less gets finished. Now I know that some people do a much better job with multi- tasking than I do, but I think a lot of us try to fool ourselves about it."
Hmmm... how many activities do I have on the go? How disciplined am I about finishing projects? Can I dedicate myself to complete one task entirely before moving on to something more fun or interesting?
That will be my goal for today. To have a 'completion checklist' instead of a 'to-do' list, and I'll let you know how it turns out.
