When building a profitable practice, it’s important to finish what you started. Not finishing what you started can hurt you. Do you pass the hallway of forgotten projects when you enter your house? Or maybe all the projects you leave unfinished are stuffed into a closet where none of your guests can judge you over them. The point is, you tend to leave a lot of the things you start, unfinished.

Whether you realize it or not, this habit could be hurting you in several ways.

It may make you anxious

If you find yourself constantly feeling anxious, it could be because of all the projects you’re constantly leaving unfinished. Even if you don’t currently feel any anxiety, this doesn’t mean you won’t eventually feel anxious feelings because of your unfinished projects. Not only that, but when feelings of anxiety go unresolved, they could lead to more serious issues such as depression. Thus, it’s better to do whatever possible to avoid causing yourself to feel anxiety.

You will have issues with frustration

Whether you realize it or not, leaving projects unfinished is a deep source of frustration in your life. This frustration may not just be affecting your personal life, it could also be affecting your professional life, causing you to lash out at coworkers and maybe even your boss. If this sounds like you, it means your unfinished projects could be what’s holding you back in your career.

You won’t move forward

Finishing what you start is an important part of creating change within your life. If you aren’t finishing the things you’re starting, you aren’t changing. If you aren’t changing yourself, you’re stagnant. Without change, you can’t move forward. You will set aside any goals or dreams you have for yourself, and you may never complete them. It could also mean that you won’t feel the feeling of accomplishment, which is another crucial aspect of helping propel yourself forward in life.

In conclusion, although you may not think that finishing what you’ve started is hurting you, the truth is, it probably is. When you leave a project unfinished, it can cause anxiety and feelings of frustration to develop and fester. Beyond just that, when you aren’t finishing something, you’re remaining stagnant in your life and denying yourself the growth and development you deserve. It’s time to stop setting tasks aside and start completing the things you start today.

Sometimes we don’t finish what we started because we are avoiding it. Why? Find out on our blog post here.
