Does anyone else feel thsi way? If you want examples..if in development of a software product,I loose interest once the prodcut is developed,some else has to test it for me..I simply cant set my mind to test..After my pregnancy as soon as I fit into my pre-preg jeans I lost interest to shed off the extra pounds..While talking with someone I only talk and try to solve issues, general nice-isities doenst interest me..

What in your opinion is my problem? Am I lazy ? How do I improve my situation and treat the whole thing till the end as one task ? Help
Same here Prats - you're not alone. Not only am I a lousy finisher, I never follow through or stick with anything.

I can probably name a dozen things in recent memory where this has been a problem:
  1. Losing weight
  2. Quitting caffeine
  3. Reading more
  4. Staying organized (ie. GTD, etc)
  5. Exercising
  6. Small/home business
And so on....

I wish I knew what to do to change this pattern of behavior, but I'm at a complete loss. Of course, I read all the self-help, personal development stuff and, as you might guess, never follow through with any of it.
