unfinished

I've just found the following paragraph in an unfinished blog entry from February 2006, labeled "abandoned projects":

Obvious confession time: I don't have the attention span to get anything accomplished on my own. I put a pile of time into a project, and lose interest. Sometimes I only get to the point of doing elaborate planning in my head, but I can't be bothered to write anything down. This tendency actually shows up at work sometimes (I have this additional, related problem where I tend to lose interest in projects after I've finished the hard part but this is usually compensated for by annoyed bosses.

This is actually not entirely true, but given four year's perspective, it does help to know that you have a problem and to keep coping strategies (like, for instance, writing things down) in mind...
