			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unfinished projects&#8230;I have a few. Some are hidden deep in a closet. Some are stashed in baskets and drawers. And some are in full view on my dining room table. (I keep thinking the guilt of a messy dining room will inspire me to action&#8230;Apparently, I am not motivated by guilt.)<a href="http://cozyyourhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/unfinished-projects.jpg" title="Unfinished Projects"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center" align="left"><a href="http://cozyyourhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/unfinished-projects.jpg" title="Unfinished Projects"><img src="http://cozyyourhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/unfinished-projects.jpg" alt="Unfinished Projects" width="538" height="404" /></a></p>
<p>The problem is knowing where to start, then sticking with something until it is complete. I need some accountability&#8211;someone to hold my feet to the fire. There is probably some deep reason for this disorder of mine. It isn&#8217;t mere procrastination. I pay bills on time and do other stuff when it needs to be done. I don&#8217;t always wait until the last minute.</p>
<p>Is it boredom? Lack of focus? Laziness? (I sure hope not!) More likely, I want it perfect. And I <strike>want</strike> need to have a purpose for doing it. And OK, I might need a gentle shove&#8211;the proverbial kick in the butt. My future goals include lightening up a little on the perfection thing. I mean, I&#8217;m not even close on that. Besides, it&#8217;s paralyzing and NO FUN to be around. I am also going to work on having an end purpose in mind. Even if the purpose is pleasure, it&#8217;s still a purpose. Work (or hobbies) without purpose seems ridiculous and boring.</p>
<p>So, today I am turning the page. (I&#8217;m not saying I won&#8217;t flip back from time to time. <img src='http://cozyyourhome.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) I&#8217;m going to pick something and actually [gulp] finish it. Really.</p>
<p>You can take THAT to school.</p>
