Formerly, I couldn't finish any of my side projects or fitness goals. I deduced that I needed to learn how to finish things. So I reset my goals to be things I could finish well without much probability of encountering big demotivators. By ruthlessly reducing the scope of each project, I was able to learn the craft of finishing. Knowing how to finish, I became able to complete projects that would have left my former self spent and defeated. Finishing gives its own rewards.
