Look what you've done. 2 days ago

For the longest time I’ve always had all these wonderful ideas that I begin to start, and then leave behind and never finish. I feel so guilty about it, but I just move on, and make up more things to never finish. Then you get this huge pile of things to do that you just dread to get done because it’s no longer fun. I want to stop that. I want to be able to look at what I have and say, yeah, I did that. I finished it, and be proud. I want to fulfill all those wonderful ideas that I’ve had, that always just rested in my head.

Being a go-getter 1 week ago

I’ve always been a list-maker but never a list-finisher. I also am highly ambitious and always load myself up with more than I can handle (for example today I scheduled 16 1/2 hours of studying lol!) So I want to learn how to prioritize and to complete things and make my life full of accomplishment, enjoyment, and worthiness.

In order for me to consider this goal finished I want to complete every goal I begin from this point forth for 6 months straight. This includes getting a high GPA, learning a language, attending my classes, studying and doing homework early, losing weight, etc. I’ll post new accomplishments, and times when I screw up here.



Jason Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.

Tons of unfinished projects 2 weeks ago

I’m a fairly ambitious guy who gets a grand idea and immediately starts working on it.

Trouble is that I’ll get SO close to finishing then just stop. I don’t know why, but I almost always quit working on a project JUST as I’m putting the finishing touches on it.

Anyone know why in the world my mind works this way? I’m sick of having all of these unfinished projects sitting around.



Oh to finish 2 weeks ago

This is such an impossible task for me, I don’t even dare to put it on my list. Is it a fear of failure or am I just lazy? I’ve been very productive lately with the big move into our new house so I think I deserve a victim moment. Here goes…....”I don’t finish things because I’m so easily distracted. You know, cuz I got ADHD and all…............
