A friend reached out this week with a podcast topic: how do I go about finishing my work? As a creative professional, I get an idea, I start pursuing the idea, developing it to a certain point until I eventually put it on the metaphorical shelf, only to forget it in favor of a new idea. For the most part, this is the challenge: the shiny pursuit of the new. In this episode of Getting Work To Work, I share 8 barriers that prevent me from finishing my work and ultimately answer my friend’s question—how do I go about finishing my work?—with another question: what do I need to do next?
8 Barriers to Finishing My Work
- Perfectionism
- Focused on the end goal, not the next step
- Too much work
- Not enough work
- Not trusting my process
- Obsessed with the future
- Forgetting my purpose
- Not keeping my whole being in check
