You’re curious. Restless. Excited by what’s new. But chasing stimulation can replace commitment.
Chasing the new thing is how you avoid finding out whether you can finish the old one.
The new project is exciting. The old one is at the boring middle. You have been here before, and you left.
What did you abandon at 60 percent the last time something new appeared?
Finish one middle-of-the-road task today before touching the shiny one.
The new opportunity is exciting, and the excitement is doing the maths for you.
What did the last exciting money idea cost you?
Write that number down today, next to this one.
You are drawn to what is new, in people or in plans. Curiosity is fine. Check whether it is curiosity or an exit from a conversation with someone you already have.
What is going unattended while you chase what is new?
Give the existing relationship one full, undistracted evening this week.
You want to decide with a leap. Leaping is fine when it is a choice and not a way to skip the thinking.
What part of this decision are you jumping over because it is dull?
Spend 20 minutes today on the boring part before you leap.
You are restless. Restlessness is information, and you are treating it as instruction.
What are you about to change that does not need changing?
Sit with the restlessness for three days before acting on it.
You have started four things this month. Starting is your strongest skill and your favourite hiding place.
Which of them would you be embarrassed to abandon?
Give that one an hour today.
