I love this article and the premise. Further similar reading/watching in some of my favorite Zack Freedman videos! - "Here's What's Preventing You From Finishing Projects": [VIDEO] - "How to Finish Your Weekend Projects in One Weekend": [LINK] "Finishing" more projects (even if that means changing the scope and announcing it "finished") has been amazing for my internal willingness to start new projects or tell friends about them. I have much less anxiety that I'll leave another half-finished project sitting around with lost motivation.
