I don’t want to go into a whole lot of detail on this, but today’s truth is really not new. It’s just something I personally need to pay more attention to. <\/p>\n
New doors can’t open until current ones are closed. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n And by closed I mean SHUT TIGHT. <\/p>\n Historically, I’ve been really good<\/strong> at starting things and not as good at finishing them. This doesn’t mean I never finish anything — I do. I have finished 3 degrees, the most recent of which included an 86-page thesis which damn near killed me. Finishing that was one of the most difficult<\/strong> things I’ve done. I finish all kinds of things: cooking meals, unit plans, books, Angry Birds, and I even once sewed a skirt. (It was a long time ago, but it counts!)<\/p>\n But… I’m much<\/strong> better at starting things. I heart beginnings. <\/p>\n The problem is, I’ve discovered, that when I don’t properly finish things, I often leave them cluttered about my life. This means they occupy valuable latent<\/strong> space that could be better put to use by new things and energy that offer more value or return. <\/p>\n I need to stop doing this. I need to follow these basic rules:<\/p>\n (I actually think these rules deserve to be examined literally in my life, too, as well as figuratively, as I realize I currently have 31 tabs open in two browsers. Um, yeah.)<\/p>\n I am going to start paying more attention to this. Close doors that I opened. That’s it. It’s that simple. CLOSED.
