Admittedly, I can be fairly impulsive person, acting on my random whims as they occur. Although this can be a recipe for excitement, it can be a quick route to frustration (especially for others). Suffice it to say, if there’s one thing in my personal life (luckily, I’m much more disciplined in my professional life) with which I consistently struggle, it’s … er… consistency (oh, the irony!) — especially when it comes to finishing projects.
Instead of seeing a specific project to 100% completion and then moving on, I tend to bounce from one thing to the next, doing a LOTS of work with little to show for it in terms of “finished” products.
inertia strikes again.
So… why the public confession?
Two Reasons.
One, I like the idea of public accountability and two, my past approach to this blog is an excellent example of the inconsistency I’m trying to subdue.
(not so) easy listening 
Yup, anybody can START a project but finishing it requires nerves of steel, perseverance, self-discipline.
I’ve sat at my desk every morning for 25+ years wondering how the hell I’m going to fill up the blank page with words that “cry and sing”. It’s a daily struggle, with little hope of reward.
Geez, I just realized: I fit the standard definition of a masochist. I think I’d better go lie down, I feel a head ache coming on…
I appreciate your thoughts, Cliff — Hope you’ve got some Excedrin in that desk.. 🙂
