I am a student of arcihtecture. I am working on a project. My tutors say that I am talented and I will make a good job of it. However, I always stop working in the middle of the project. I lose my desire and enthusiasm. I feel I can not finish the work. Than I feel upset and depressed. I want to upgrade my talents and show my tenacity, but I can not do this.

I want to hear your advices.

Please God, give my desire back.

You need to start any project by making a plan. In that plan, you need to break the project down into meaningful and small pieces. Upon completion of each such piece, you need to reward yourself with something that is pleasant for YOU (no rules - ask yourself how you would like to be rewarded).

So that is one thing - breaking down a project into doable, meaningful, small enough components + giving yourself positive feedback as you accomplish the smaller sub-projects.

The other thing is just switching from one activity to another, mixing cognitive and physical activities (say, after you have done a drawing, go for a bike ride), changing where you work (some people prefer studying at a library, some in the park when it is warm, etc. - you choose your setting and your scenery, to the extent possible). Get out of the routine, the rut of doing the same thing for too long.

I do not think that you need to show your tenacity. I think that you need to show a good finished project. Who said that you need to show your tenacity? Is it your own idea or has anybody asked that of you?

Stop saying to yourself, "I cannot do this" because if you believe that, then you won't finish it regardless of if you can or not.
Take it each step at a time, slowly but surely, and finish it.
Find ways to make your projects exciting. As an architect, you can't stop in the middle of building or drafting a house and say "I don't find this exciting anymore, I guess these people won't get their dream house. I'm bored." LOL I'm exaggerating, but you get my point. When you're working, you simply can't stop a project, because you will have payments, coworkers and expectations riding on it.
Think of this project as a real-life project you'd have at work. Or like a brain surgeon who gets tired after 3 hours of surgery and says "I'm bored, this isn't exciting anymore, I need a latte, this person can wait." LOL JK
