*ALARM BELLS * *SIREN* *WAILING*
I am in danger zone
I can feel it…… it is creeping up on me… the temptation to start something new… – to abandon a half finished project for sake of new
SHINEY NEW IDEA!!!
look at it ….glittering there in the sun….
the possiblities….. (are endless)
the new materials….. (textures! colours! Lights!)
the new techniques….. (I’ve had a taste and now I WANT MORE!)
No No NO.
PLEASE ADMINISTER SOME SELF DISCIPLINE NOW.
It is a trap – a very common and all too familiar trap that I fall into again and again – I am a serial flirter – with new projects.
I am a starter – but not a finisher – yet.
The danger zone is not the first hurdle of difficulty – no that would be a total cop out. And it’s not that I don’t like solving problems – that is probably the bit I like most (reinventing the wheel every day is the reason I get out of bed)…..but I just get a little bit bored.
The excitement and thrill of a new idea has waned – it’s old new (to me at any rate) – been there done that – and (nearly) got the t-shirt. EXCEPT that it is another unfinished – I don’t have anything concrete to show for all my time and trouble – I have litterally wasted my time. and filled my storeroom with yet another COULD HAVE BEEN.
So
With this knowledge I need to get a grip now before it is too late (and yes I probably said all this in Old PLAN FOR WORLD DOMMINATION) but somehow, someday perhaps I WILL take my own advice and finish something without being time-managed by a scary deadline.
