This is for me - my motivation to GET SOMETHING DONE. With all due respect to that big company, I'll just say here...Just do something!
I find it hard to do work that has to be redone in days or hours or minutes. I can't find motivation in emptying the dishwasher, folding laundry, ironing a shirt (I do know people, closed to me, who iron as often as possible),vacuuming. Can I just hang a picture and move on?
I like to start things. Beginnings are great, motivating, something I try to do as often as possible. Middles are interesting. There are problems to figure out, how to change from the pattern, seeing something begin to come together. Finishing is not so good...it may not turn out as hoped, the last bit is boring, it will simple not work...or it may be a raving success and I will expect to want to do it again. Or others (those pesky others) will want me to do it, make it again.
I have important projects that need finished. I have two bathrooms, recently remodeled that need just a bit more caulk and a bit of paint scrubbed off and a piece of tile reset. This has been true for this entire year! Can I just please finish one of them? I tried to bribe myself with new towels after I finished the first bathroom but I simply couldn't get myself to wait. My self doesn't respond well to bribes.
