It's painful to me to start something and not get to finish it. Anyone else have this problem?

I have the reverse problem
Start millions of dev projects and never finish them
Yes life happens
Once I figure out that a problem is solvable and exactly how, going ahead and actually solving it feels like a chore. Its the most important part tbh, but also the hardest one to convince yourself to follow through with.
Nope have plenty of abandoned projects.
Yeah man! I still haven't been able to buy all available Bitcoin on the market 😢 I would really like to finish that project...
Yes me t…
I find myself thinking of unfinished problems before I go to sleep
Yes, it feels the same as quitting 🙁
it's my daily routine 😭😭
Yes, same with failure.
I was sucker for doing everything perfectly. Take repainting the bedroom: even twisting round to paint *inside* the fitted wardrobe, above the door where it would never be seen. My method now? Don’t do perfect jobs, but I promise myself that if it still worries me in a month’s time, I’ll come back to it.
Park those jobs with a promise to yourself to revisit in xx months.
Yes.
Stuff for myself I can start & abandon pretty easily.
If I'm working for someone it feels different. I want to hand them something completed otherwise it feels like a waste. Is that some sort of need to be validated by them?
I also can't turn off a movie once I'm an hour or so in. It doesn't matter how bad it is, I need that feeling of resolution.
I think that's normal. Not trying it would be the mistake. Some things that generate enough motivation continue to live on.
I do with reading books.
Cutting a loser saves precious time
There is no need to finish something but if the chapter is not closed properly, that is pain
