Starting and finishing
What if our bias toward action is centered not on starting, but on finishing?
Often, things will get started on their own. But they won’t get finished on their own — not without dedicated focus.
It’s possible to mindlessly start multiple tasks. We don’t typically mindlessly finish them.
Attend to the finishing.
One at a time, project by project. When we can do that, over time, we don’t have a messy battlefield but a tidy portfolio.
