I am very conservative when I say 97%... it is probably even higher than that... so, buddy, you are not alone...  So, don't deprecate yourself because you follow what is almost normal and natural behavior...
Now, what could be done to improve your "stick-to-it-ness..."
First would be to never start a new program on the spur of the moment while only driven by the enthusiastic feeling that "this is going to change your life for the better..." Everything has a price... and sometimes the price is not worth the effort...
Second, if you make a public commitment... that is, announce to the entire world what it is that you are starting up... chances are that you will stick t it...
Third... don't be in too much of a hurry to attain perfection... it took me years... j/k

Yeah well spur of the moment thing, true in a way. I get the sense I'm throwing mud against the wall to see what sticks.
Your right though, public commitment combined with public humiliation should do the trick. Just started a new challenge (lol keep throwing the mud
) no pc during the day which I've been putting of for like a week now. Getting my whole family in on this.
If they catch me, I pay 5 bucks and the challenge gets reset. Whey good times, best thing is I'm pulling this judgement over myself. Damn I'm gonna get intrusions into my room now ah well. I'll get over it.
