Everything that has a beginning must have an end, yet there are many abandoned projects that litter the pathways of our past.

Why do things get abandoned? Could it be that we were forced to stop, or ran out of resources to continue, or lacked the ability to really do it, or lost interest?

Maybe some things we started we should never have initiated in the first place as it did not truly align with who we are or our abilities. Or, could it be that we did not push through enough to see it out to the end?

The ability to complete is not an easy one, yet it is very necessary for progress in life. The alternative of abandoning stuff could easily become a habit that poisons everything that we do as we follow a path of least resistance and settle for a mediocre life.

Completion is necessary and if one follows through on whatever they find to do, they will soon learn what they should be doing and what they should not. A completer is more likely to be working in an area of their greatest strength and ability while a non-completer will be a jack of all trades and a master of none.

Dig down for your innermost strength of tenacity and complete all that is in your hand now. Do this regularly and watch as you naturally swing into your best zone where you will find your greatest progress.

Have you heard of Parkinson’s Law on time? It states that “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” Let me use an example to clarify it. If you usually complete a monthly report for work in 2 hours, the moment you are given 4 hours to do it, then you suddenly find that it is taking you 4 hours to do something that was easily done in 2 hours.

Have you ever noticed that happening to you? If so, you have experienced Parkinson’s law. Maybe you have set some targets for what you want to do during this COVID-19 lock down period, or you are intending to catch up with tasks that you just had not had the time for when things were normal.
If you are in that boat, then you need to make Parkinson’s Law work to your advantage. Don’t think you have more time, because the basic everyday stuff that you do will expand to eat up that time.

Instead you need to identify all the things you need to do and force them into the schedule of all the other things, then you will find that time will somehow become more amicable to you completing all you planned to do.
Be on the look out and don’t let this time slip away from you on things that create no growth potential in your life.
