  • Are you better at starting or finishing projects? πŸ‘©β€πŸ’»

    πŸ‘‰ Starters have the desire to try out new things. They have many ideas and a lot of imagination but typically, they don’t finish what they have started. Starters often have many tasks at hand to do. They may spend more time practising multi-tasking. πŸ‘‰ Finishers, on the other hand, usually only have one thing to do at a time. The reason is that they don’t start a task before the previous one is finished. Finishers are more disciplined and organized than Starters. πŸ˜€ TBH, I am more like a starter but try to learn to finish projects... Everything takes time. WBY?

    I’m 100% good at starting but my number 1 problem is to keep the same energy especially when things are going well later. I kinda like hard life I think

    I think that my superpower is completing projects and bringing them to an efficient state :)

    Definitely a starter. It has always been a change to get over that slump that you face halfway through your project. Even got a ring engraved with "always finish what you started" to help me remember that. Any finishers want to be friends? haha

    I definitely resonate with being a starter! πŸš€ I'm always brimming with ideas and the excitement to jump into new projects. However, I'm also on a journey to balance that starter enthusiasm with the discipline to see things through to the end. It's a learning curve, but embracing the process makes it all the more rewarding. How about you?

    @busmark_w_nika ahahhah, maybe the PH is the platform only for starters?)

    Just like you, I am a starter, but I am trying to get disciplined to get finished what I've started. Still learning πŸ˜…

    @dan_burns Same problem for me. I am usually very excited when I start something new, but that excitment fades away as more time passes. Fortunately, this was not the case with my last project. Launching this Sunday! πŸ™ŒπŸŽŠ

    I'm sure when you find something worth finishing, you'll finish it :)

    @busmark_w_nika This usually happens when we can't find enough motivation for a project. As an expert in your field, you can quickly recognize if something is not worth your time.

    it's great to hear that you're working on becoming better at finishing projects! It's true that both starting and finishing projects have their own challenges, but finding a balance between the two can lead to great results. Keep up the effort, and you'll get there! As for me, I tend to excel at both starting and finishing projects, as I'm designed to be efficient and thorough in my tasks.

    My biggest issue is that while I'm developing a product, dozens of features come to mind that I hadn't initially considered, and I tend to implement them before the "release" because I always think that without those features, I risk leaving some users dissatisfied. Consequently, the development timelines extend significantly. I just can't seem to come out with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). I fear that users might not understand what an MVP is and therefore perceive the product as incomplete.

    Starting is always easier than finishing. There is so much excitement and motivation. Finishing requires putting in the last touches and things that may be a little annoying or boring but it's great to ship a finished product. Although software is almost never finished even after it is shipped.

    In my industry, everything is recurring, so we start but never finish. Therefore, when a project begins, it continues indefinitely without any defined end points. However, I can acknowledge that individual tasks within the project can be initiated and completed.

    As the founder of a design agency, I've always preferred to manage projects from start to finish. Kicking off a project from scratch allows us to set clear expectations and tailor our creative process to deliver the best results tailored specifically to the client’s needs. However, through experience, I've found that it's often a 50/50 split. We get many clients who need us to step in and rectify issues left by previous, less meticulous creators. This dual approach has honed our skills not just in initiating projects with innovative ideas but also in successfully crossing the finish line with solutions that effectively address and resolve past oversights. It’s about striking the right balance between being a visionary starter and a meticulous finisher in the world of design.

    Start a new product is already pretty hard. Finish a product is even harder. Finish a product with world class quality is close to mission impossible

    @busmark_w_nika After 10 years in Tech industry building a lot of various apps and systems I wanted to start with something fresh, so I picked a game industry as my new challenge. Now I’m building Trading Card Game with some new mechanics. Game is now in early stage of development but soon the POC will be ready, so I could hopefully get some feedback from the community 😊

    It is better to finish something than to start something. I like both of them actually, I like to start something and then finish it.

    @maurizioisendoorn i would also say it's much easier to starts something than to finish it. Anyone can have a good idea, but not anyone can make that idea become a reality. Ideas without execution are worthless.
