Get Good at Finishing Things

If you’re finding ticking things you want to do off your list to be a struggle, try engaging in commitment as a practice.

Recently, I had a reader write to me about not being good at finishing things.

A few examples of things they haven’t finished are:

• A course they bought
• A diet they want to do
• Going on all of the hikes they want to take in their area

I can relate! It can be hard to finish things—we get excited about something at the start, but our commitment wavers when we get busy or things get hard or boring.
