It’s not easy to start something new, but once you did, it gets very challenging to finish it. It will put you in tough spots and challenging situations, but the result is always something to hold-on. The amazing feeling of happiness and confidence you get when you finish the work you started describes itself.

Above all, you’ll learn to trust yourself. The power of finishing what you started is in building a self-trust which firms your feet on the ground. Now we know how important it is to finish what you start.

3 Ways To Make Sure You Finish What You Start

Too much focus is not good

You need to finish your work on time. It’s important, but not at the cost of your well-being. Expecting perfect results is fine, but it can sometimes delay things. Breaking your work into small tasks, goals, and actionable simple-steps will make things easier to get the desired results. Instead, don’t expect too perfect results from the start.

The attitude of “It’s all my responsibility”

It is your work, and it is your responsibility, but there’s a line. Try to take some things off your plate. You need to trust the people working for you. Trust them that they will deliver the results you need. You can train them. You can make quick sessions of ‘what you need’ before beginning the work. Let people handle it while you stay focused on what’s essential. Putting everything in your shoulders will slow you down. It will cloud you from solving important things at hand.

Remember Three Things

When stuck or feel like quitting the work, remember ‘Why you started’, ‘What brings you? What made you take to this work?’, ‘the wonderful results you get upon completion’ and ‘sense of trust’ you will build in yourself.

Daily Things You Can do

Write things that you can daily do concerning your work. Write them down in the morning, preferably in the previous day/night. It can be anything. It can be a reminder to make an appointment with a client, make a phone call, etc. It improves your working style. It helps achieve small-goals quickly. Check if the ‘daily things you can do’ are done. It helps you to get things faster.

Maintaining a Diary

Writing is the best form of visualizing your work to be done. Write, make sketches, take note of the things you need. Write about all the things you need to begin and finish the work. Keep it with you. Ideas and solutions can appear out of nowhere.

Be ready to face the fall

Things fall apart. It happens many times, even with careful planning, and there’s nothing we can do about it. But, we can save ourselves if we better prepare. A contingency plan is good in case your project or work meets sudden problems. A plan that involves saving your work, plans, and taking care of financial resources. Plan things that will make you keep going in-spite of tough situations.

4 Simple Tips to Help You Finish What You Start

5.png

Commit

Once you being the work, a strong commitment towards completion is needed from you. Give your best. Do the plans you made. Stay by your word.

Get a Rough Idea- Visualize

Before you begin, make a mental note of things that work. Get a rough idea about how you want this work to be done. Visualize the project in your way. Take note of the time, resources, efforts, people, and results you need for this work. Gather necessary data. It makes things easier, i.e. you will be able to visualize ‘what you want’ and ‘how you want.’

Small Goals

Assign small-goals first. Achieving small goals will give confidence to you and people working in the project. It builds trust. It can bring people together. You get to share the talent pool. It can show if you are handling things the right way. Most importantly, fulfilling small-goals give assurance and validations you need to move forward confidently. Finishing what you started will get easy.

Small Steps

Break your work into small steps, no matter the project/work size. Divide your work into small steps. You can get more focus. You can plan well. Finishing what you start is made one-step easy.

Essential Tip To Finish What You Start

Choose:

If you’re new, then chances are you won’t be able to pick and choose. You will probably be assigned to a project that can be very new; working-platform can be different, while People, places, and resources can be challenging. In this case, it solely depends on your interest and efforts to finish the work given to you.

On the other hand, if you’re a senior and have more experience in your area, it becomes easy for you. By now, you will be able to self-assess yourself in your strong areas. You might have handled different projects, deadlines, clients, etc. It makes you qualified to choose what works for you the best. Half-interested work will bear no fruit.

Choose wisely. If you are sure, then go for it. If you are new and there’s nothing you can do, adopt, and try to include yourself.

How to Build the Habit of Finishing What you start?

To answer this question, you can simply put as ‘it is up to you.’ But, when we start analyzing things in detail, ‘finishing what you started’ takes more than that. Enthusiasm can make you begin work, you could be doing well initially, but at some point, you’ll feel stuck. You might think that the work is taking more of your time and effort. The time and resources you expected could go big. The help and support you needed can become unpredictable. The reasons vary depending on situations.

As a result, you will start losing interest you had when you first started. It eventually leads to the decline of will-power, focus, and self-confidence in completing. This is where you need to pull yourself together and get back on track in finishing what you began.
