For me, I don't have a lot of time to really work on projects & I do a lot of thinking through it in my mind before I ever start. My problem is that unless I know I have enough time to really FINISH the project, I usually don't want to start it......then once it's started, I refuse to quit because there isn't anything worse than a partially finished project that I can't find the time to get back to.

Was just discussing this in therapy the other day. I have been seriously having a problem getting any of my "to do list" things finished. So this one day, I was working on one of my "to do" list items that needed to get finished. I worked on it 24 hours straight.....without eating or taking a break other than a 5 doggie potty walk & even that was a short one. My med patches were supposed to be changed that morning & food??? didn't bother because there wasn't anything that didn't take time to make.

By the time 2am rolled around, I was a mess. Couldn't figure out whether to change the patches or get some food because I was shaking so bad. I worry so bad that if I stop a project before it gets finished, I won't be able to find the time to finish it again because some other higher priority project will force it's way in my life.

Nothing worse than a house full of 1/2 finished projects....not sure that NO even worked on projects is just as bad as that bothers me also. Just know that it bothers me more to have something partially finished without the time to finish it than to just have it sitting as a complete "to do" on the list....seems harder to get back to something partially finished than to start something completely new because it now has a huge priority placed on it.
