NEW THREAD-Why we don't finish........

Yup, this is a biggie. For some strange reason we get to a point where we start putting things off, and then wander off the beaten path. We argue with ourselves that we'll do it tomorrow, or next week...it's too late tonight, my buddy just called and wants to go out for a few beers, I really don't feel like it tonight......you name it, someone has already used it as an excuse. There's nothing really wrong with taking a little break (as I did tonight) but you've got to have the stones to jump back in. I'm hugely guilty of this line of thinking once my train of thought has jumped the tracks. If I can force myself to focus and concentrate, I know I'll keep plugging away. But I have to use mental trickery such as "I'll take tonight off, but get back to it and hit it hard Tuesday". This way I've forced myself into setting a hard goal, and if I don't make that goal, I'm pretty hard on myself. Those of you who are procrastinators might try this technique.
It's pretty easy to blow off working on your car when nobody gives a ****. Starting a resto thread has helped me immensely; because not only are you all seeing and reading about my progress, but you are acutely aware of any LACK of progress and your reminders have spurred me on at times (thanks!) I would strongly recommend a resto thread for those of you beginning a new project, or even in the middle of one, if you're having trouble staying motivated. Comments?
