Half Way There

Have you ever started something and not finished it? Do you make a habit of leaving unfinished projects or do you tend to get everything done no matter what you push aside to do so?

I’ve always been one of those people who fall kind of in the middle—I tend to work on a gazillion projects at one time and I skip back and forth between them. Eventually, the projects get finished and I start new ones although the timelines for each project may vary. I used to hate this about mys of, the fact that I was always working on so many things and I couldn’t finish one thing at a time. It is if I get bored if I don’t have a ton of things to work on. I honestly seem to concentrate better the more I have to do.

In my job, my varied focus has come in handy as a stress reducer. Day after day, I get somethings done and I leave others unfinished. I see those around me panic about the workload or the fact that they never completely finish their work. The way I see it, it is important to work hard and make progress but you also must learn to measure progress it small steps. Sometimes half way there is enough for today and that is what keeps us going or at least feeling some sense of accomplishment. Otherwise, we’d stress ourselves to the max and find ourselves out of a job anyway. Is it worth the stress? Probably not.

Lesson of today? Small steps with direction are progress and yes, patience is a virtue. Happy writing this week!
