Finishing a project is often the most challenging part of doing it. The following are some suggestions which will help make things a little easier.
1) Set yourself a definite time scale. If you want to finish a project you have to know when you want it finished for. The term 'someday' will never do.
2) Get someone else involved in holding you accountable. It's important to get someone else involved as this adds extra emphasis towards achieving the goal associated with the project. If you are letting somkeone else down it's an added motivation to complete something.
3) Make proper time for it. Set an appropriate amount of time in which you can get it finished. Also, ensure that in setting the time slots, you do so in such a way that you keep to them. These time slots should be every bit as important as the meetings you schedule or the people you arrange to meet.
4) Imagine how good the completed project is going to feel. inside your mind, build a rich representation of having finished the project. See what you want to see, hear what you will hear and feel how good you will feel. This will get you feeling even more motivated to finish it off and you'll find new momentum.
5) If necessary, break it down. Breaking something down is always a way of making it easier to do. Take the end tasks of completing a project and make them into smaller chunks that make the ending seem more manageable.
6) Set yourself a great reward. Set yourself up to have a really nice reward for when you have finally completed the project. This will give you all the extra motivation you need to get over the finishing line.
7) Avoid the distraction strategy. The distraction strategy is the strategy that sometimes might have kicked in when you were doing a project. It is when your head suggested that you do something else first. Keep your priorities. Set the most important things to do and get them finished before skipping around between different things to do.
