There is nothing so fatal to character as half finished tasks.

David Lloyd George

Unless you are very differnet to most people, you never really finish anything! Look around your house, your work, your life. You will see numerous unfinished projects lying around.

There are many reasons that this happens, but here are the main ones.

Not starting

You have lots and lots and lots of ideas and one day you might act one one of them, forgive my language but this is bullshit! Plain and simple, when you have an idea and think that it is good just start acting on it, as Nike says "Just Do It" at least you will have started.

Overplanning

Now that you have started, please do not stop to start planning it. Of course you have to plan on what you are going to do and how you are going to get there but please do not spend so long planning something that you actually end up getting bored of it before it starts or worse still you spend more time planning and no time doing.

Just giving up

Maybe you are just plain lazy, maybe you are afraid, maybe your mother told you that you would never amount to anything. These are all just excuses. The only person that is responsible for your life is YOU!

Perfectionism

It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be finished

That last 20%

In the cases it is that last bit of the task that is left unfinished, I actually think that it is amazing how many people never actually push on for the final part of the work or project, it may be fatigue, it may be laziness, I actually don't know, but the number of people that I meet who never actually do that last 20% is amazing, please don't be one of them, finsih the job!

I apologise to those that don't like boxing, but this is how you finish a job
