Are you better at starting or finishing projects? 👩‍💻

Just like you, I am a starter, but I am trying to get disciplined to get finished what I've started. Still learning 😅

It is better to finish something than to start something. I like both of them actually, I like to start something and then finish it.

I definitely resonate with being a starter! 🚀 I'm always brimming with ideas and the excitement to jump into new projects. However, I'm also on a journey to balance that starter enthusiasm with the discipline to see things through to the end. It's a learning curve, but embracing the process makes it all the more rewarding. How about you?

I'm better at finishing projects.

My biggest issue is that while I'm developing a product, dozens of features come to mind that I hadn't initially considered, and I tend to implement them before the "release" because I always think that without those features, I risk leaving some users dissatisfied. Consequently, the development timelines extend significantly. I just can't seem to come out with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). I fear that users might not understand what an MVP is and therefore perceive the product as incomplete.

In my industry, everything is recurring, so we start but never finish. Therefore, when a project begins, it continues indefinitely without any defined end points. However, I can acknowledge that individual tasks within the project can be initiated and completed.

I'm sure when you find something worth finishing, you'll finish it :)

Start a new product is already pretty hard. Finish a product is even harder. Finish a product with world class quality is close to mission impossible

Till now I’ve successfully mastered starting a new projects 😅 But hopefully with this one I will be able to come to the end, wish me luck 🤞😃

I'm a starter just like you 😂 There's a lot of enthusiasm for projects initially, but it tends to dwindle when it comes to finishing them. Still, it's truly a learning process! What I can say is that actually completing a project brings a lot of relief, so there is a reward in it. Right now, I'm working on setting milestones and celebrating when I achieve them. It helps to show that you're making progress and not just stuck in the idea generation process! And having a team definitely helps with taking steps forward because things often influence and depend on each other. So, when you're stuck with something, your whole team will be kind enough to remind you to hurry 😂 (and, well, help too, if it's something they help with)

Definitely a starter. It has always been a change to get over that slump that you face halfway through your project. Even got a ring engraved with "always finish what you started" to help me remember that. Any finishers want to be friends? haha

I’m 100% good at starting but my number 1 problem is to keep the same energy especially when things are going well later. I kinda like hard life I think

I am the best at getting the rewards of a successfully completed project :)

I have starter tendencies, many ideas but I never finish most of them 🙈

"Witout commitment you never start. But more importantly, without consistency, you never finish." Recently saw this on an Iron Man Triathlon post. So true.

Mix of both!

I think that my superpower is completing projects and bringing them to an efficient state :)

Used to let “I need it to be perfect” be a source of resistance. Often would end up moving on to the next shiny object. Over the last year have been intentional about not letting great be the enemy of good. Finding balance.
