But we are largely made up of habits and you are getting in the habit of not working on things, of making excuses, and that will only get stronger the more you indulge in it. Break down goals into smaller pieces, as small as you need to and get things you want to do done that way.
There's no magic answer or good enough excuse for not doing what we want to do. If you decide you are no longer interested, finish it anyway, just to get in the habit of finishing what you start. I did not figure out how to do that with homework in school until I was 41! It's just you dealing with yourself, no one else can do anything about that.

Advice which verges on wisdom. you're right and i think i truly needed to hear that
. i wanted to say something cheesy like "it really speaks to me", but for the sake of not being cheesy, i'll try not to. still, it does resonate with me. the most important thing though, is that i take it to heart. i will try to do that.
as far as "getting in the habit" goes, i'm a little worried. you see, i've been in that habit for most of my life. my parents were pretty weak and life was always easy. i'm already the sort of person who finishes what i start, but that fact keeps me from starting many things for fear of not being able to finish them. this way of being keeps me inactive, and that's not good. also, i tend to be indecisive. once you choose one path, you turn your back on all the others. "if nothing is decided, anything is possible." too bad the reality of it isn't as good as the saying is, itself.
