I’m a quitter. I think I’m a quitter. I start to review the things that I have done the past – let me think – eleven years. And the conclusion is that I quit a lot.

It’s always such a good experience starting some new projects but I gt tired of continuing them after a while it seems. It’s not good because I seem to have a lot of uncompleted stuff that’s just hanging around. I start looking through my labyrinth (computer folders) and found so many half done works. And trust me, 2 half-dones will never combine to be done one.

I need some sort of motivation. Something to push me to continue all the way to the end. The key lies in liking what I do of course. And as I was doing some rough statistics yesterday, I realized that in every 5 projects I start, I scrap 4. Only one is completed to my liking.

And I start to think like a company manager – why is that so, how can productivity be increased and stuff.

I quit because:

* Projects took too long to complete.
* Too many going on at a time and I am forced to neglect some.
* I got bored of it basically.

To solve my problem, I can:

* Structure better schedules for my project and do one at a time.
* Select what to start more carefully.
* Show my project to others to drive me to work faster.

Hopefully some day I’ll just work faster and not laze around listening to songs with nonsensical lyrics. I should cut down on SimCity too it seems. I aim to scrap one out of five projects instead of the other way round.
