This article is great because it is not vague like many others on the web. One thing that specifically helped me was “The key is not to finish the projects you start; but to start the projects you’ll finish.” I also like the advice about blinders and the conversation with your favorite author. I read this article because I start too many projects and I never finish any of them. The most I can get to is 50% completion. At this point I think I might be psyching myself out and preventing from getting to the maturity stage. There is something frightening about giving away/showing to others what you have worked so hard on. I guess that is why you need the blinders.

I liked this article very much, and your ebook sounds very interesting … Would be nice to have an audio version to it, I wouldn’t mind paying extra for an audio version as well… Perhaps consider hiring someone to record your book for you if you are not able to do it yourself….

Nice article. Particularly
“Whenever you feel overwhelmed with a project, it’s critical to break the project into smaller, actionable pieces and add them to your daily to-do list. ”
- This one really helps. All I had to do was to break up a complex task, write down point by point and tick each one of it as I complete it. End of the day it is amazing to see how much we have done.
