If you’re the type of person who starts a project but never finishes it, you’re not alone. In fact, according to a study by the University of Scranton, only 8% of people achieve their New Year’s resolutions.
There are many reasons why people don’t finish what they start, but some of the most common reasons include lack of interest, lack of time, and fear of failure. Whatever the reason may be, not finishing what you start can have consequences.
For example, if you start a diet but don’t stick with it, you won’t see any results. And if you start a business but never get it off the ground, you’ll never know what could have been. Not finishing what you start can also lead to feelings of guilt and shame, and it can damage your self-confidence.
Fortunately, there are things you can do to prevent yourself from starting something that you’re not going to finish. Here are a few tips:
1. Make sure you’re really interested in the project.
2. Make sure you have the time to commit to it.
3. Set realistic goals for yourself.
4. Find a support group or accountability partner.
5. Give yourself permission to fail.
By following these tips, you’ll be more likely to finish what you start and achieve your goals.
