I’ve been thinking a lot lately about staying motivated throughout a big project and this morning I found a great blog post that addresses this exact point. The author of the post entitled “5 Ways to Stay Motivated to Finish What You Started” gives five great tips for staying motivated to get you to the finish line. It’s one of the most difficult aspects of personal development, but also one of the most important.
Staying motivated throughout a project is, admittedly, not easy. In the past, I have been labeled by myself and others as a “serial starter”. Most of us actually have this tendency. This is because there is so much passion at the beginning of something new that when it wheres off it is very difficult to keep going. If the passion remained all the way through, who knows what each of us could have accomplished by now?
You’ll hear a lot of people say that the toughest part is getting started. Maybe that’s true, but I’m starting to believe that the toughest part is really seeing it through to the end. A person who finishes a project with the same enthusiasm that they had at the beginning is truly a special person. I want you to be a special person, so I’m going to try to help you keep your passion to the end. Read the article linked to in this piece, and I will come back with more tips in the future on this very important topic.
