I’ve been thinking these past few days, how it’s become somewhat of a complex for me—finishing things. I seem to have trouble finishing what I’ve started. There are tons of things that I can think of that I’ve started but have never finished—they remain in the dark shadows of my mind, once in a while reminding me that they’re still there and waiting for me to do something about it.

Our bathroom… probably has about two hours of work left to do on it to be “finished”. The redesign and implementation of a blog for designbymichael.com—on hold for no reason. My hosting invoice tool? Well, I try to keep plugging away at it and is held up by the mucky details of how to properly manage invoices, particularly recurring ones that might occur on irregular intervals. I’ve also got dozens of web-based application ideas that I’ve started with a firey passion but never followed through with to an end product. I’m not sure why I have such a complex about finishing things, but I do.

I’m not sure what the reason is—and I assume the only cure is to actually finish things. But while that sounds simple, it isn’t quite that easy. I’d love to hear a phychologist’s opinion of why this might be. Maybe I have a fear and phobia about finality—or maybe I’m just lazy. I don’t know. Regardless of what the condition is a result of, it still isn’t easy finishing what I start.
