I'm not very good at finishing projects, but I've gotten much better at finishing books. Here's what I do: I keep a spreadsheet with all of the books I've read. I record the number of pages per book and I calculate for the year how many pages I read a day on average. I only allow myself to add a book to the list if I finish it. This has definitely given me an incentive to finish books.

I decided that I would try to do two problems a day and I got really far (end of 3rd chapter) but at that time I felt I wasn't understanding things entirely. I also noticed that I had developed a tendency to search for a solution of the problem before even attempting to solve it (this was in case of hard problems). So, I stopped reading SICP because it such an amazing book and I didn't want to ruin the experience of it by ploughing through.
