> And I start new projects all the time. They all have potential. But I do so many of them that none really gets enough attention to grow. People vastly overestimate the free time they have, and vastly underestimate the time it takes to take a project to completion. Try to limit it to one project at a time and put all the other projects on a "Do Not Do List" until that one project is done. And now for the key part: Track how long it takes to get that one project done. It wasn't until I did this did the gulf between perception and reality hit me. I used to plan projects for the whole year, and began to reflect on the list at the end of the year. It always looked like a failure. When I began the One Project at a Time rule, I found I could get only 2-3 done in a year, when I was consistently planning for 5-10.
