Losing Focus? Learn How to Finish What You Start Every Damn Time
The skill we all need to cultivate as soon as possible.
Do you often jump between interests?
Do you start something substantial with all this enthusiasm only to leave it mid-way on the journey?
Do you think you should leave the projects you feel are not adding value to your current life?

I once had more than 100+ writing drafts, 10+ incomplete development projects and a half-drawn sketch. I wanted to complete all of them. But I often habitually quit things mid-way and start something new.
I would devise a perfect 30 to 90-day plan to achieve excellence over it. I would even alter my daily routine to fit it in.

Only in the past few months have I started finishing things to the end, and it comes down to my habits and how conscious efforts I put in.
