Many projects never feel finished because we never defined what finished means. Before starting any project, write down what “done” looks like. Be specific. What needs to be true for you to consider this project complete?
This definition becomes your finish line. When you reach it, you are done. No extra polish. No additional features. Just done. This prevents scope creep and endless tweaking that prevents completion.
Review your done definition periodically. If it needs to change, change it intentionally, not accidentally. But having a definition prevents projects from dragging on indefinitely.
Before your next project, write down what done looks like. Refer to it as you work. When you reach it, stop. Notice how much more satisfying it feels to actually complete projects instead of working on them indefinitely.
