Here are some of the things I started in the past and never finished:
1. my cross-stitch project - I bought a set while I am here in UAE to while away my time. It's around 25% done. That was maybe 4 or 5 years ago. Not that I was super busy, I just lost interest.
2. my blog on financial literacy - started it in January 2012. Last post was in May 2012. Note that my statistic here is twice the points - my blog and my financial literacy. Not that I was super busy, I just can't walk the talk.
3. businesses I venture into - there were a lot of other networking businesses I joined in in the past but never followed through. my excuse - I am just a user of the products. I joined just to enjoy the discounts. Not that I was super busy, I just gave in easily to rejections.
4. my attempt at VA work - I even started a blog on this because it is a requirement. I started doing PowerPoint presentations, uploading them in Scribd, taking Odesk exams, then I just fizzled out. Not that I was super busy, I just got distracted I think.
5. my marriage - well, I know there are other factors involved but I want to include this in the list anyway. The irony is this is the only one on the list which I finished ahead of time. Not that I was not busy, I just wanted to end it, period.
So far, these are the things I can think of that I have started and never finished to this day. There are still many I believe I just can't remember them all as I am writing this.
So, what do I conclude in my self-analysis?
I have a short attention span. Things should give me the "adrenaline rush" and sustain it until completion.
For starters, I'll think of things that require little time to finish. So I can start and finish them before I lose interest.
I'll think of things that really arouse my interest. So that my passion will drive me to finish them.
I'll reward myself when I take on a task, even in stages of completion, so I will have something to look forward to until
