flashguyDo you finish what you start (or plan) or just talk about it?
Yes and no. On the job I was a finisher--I worked until it was done (or as done as it needed to be--computer programs are never really "done"). My personal projects? I'm a very good procrastinator. Some tasks go to completion and other do not. I've an electronic organ revamp that has been stalled for at least 30 yeaars. (I originally built it from kits in 1964 and began some upgrades around 1985. Around 1990 I hit a stumble point and the project just sort of died. I have other projects that go fairly well to completion.

bendableBefore I was out of high school, I knew that I was not equipped for long drawn out tasks.
I learned in college that I need to map the whole plan out,estimate duration, then decide weather to execute said task.
I have finished many more projects than not.
But my number of accomplishment s are limited.

MikeGLII deliberately hold off on new projects until I finish others so I don't have 7 outstanding. This is simply for home improvement projects, not work related.

.38supersigCan't really stick with the 'Finish' part as the projects evolve with time.
"Wanted to put a back-up camera in my truck". Simples!
"Put a back-up camera in my truck" along with Ms. Pac-Man, DVD changer, bluetooth, Galaga, Harmon Kardon head unit, voice recognition software, automatically dimming mirror, screen that folds into the headliner... but I did get rid of Sirius because I'm too cheap to pay for radio.
I think I'm done with it now.
