this is my second time writing this and in the first one i was talking about michelangelo and then my tumblr crashed because it couldn't handle the truth. anyway do u have any tips on how to finish projects?

yooo holy shit.

this is a really cool question bro i hella appreciate it, so i’ll try to keep the bullshitometer at a reasonable level.

as a person whos got a very serious case of the ADHD’s finishing projects, even silly dumbshit ones like this here blog is a Sisyphean task. generally, my method of achieving tasks is through two methods

METHOD ONE: THE CELL PHONE COMPANY METHOD

have you ever tried to cancel with your cell phone company, or like,,, any scummy service that is designed to be intentionally confusing and overly complicated? we gonna use this method to make your brain Do What u want it do.

if you have a habit of quitting projects halfway through, make it ANNOYINGLY INCONVENIENT to quit. i personally set release dates and flood my socials with posters and shit, that way it would require me to inform everyone i know that my release date has changed, which is annoying and requires the dreaded phone call.

habit breaking is VERY difficult, so making your usual habit more inconvenient than your desired behavior usually gives u that extra push you need.

METHOD TWO: THE JUST STRAIGHT UP LYING METHOD

this is the method i use to beat executive functioning issues, and its an absolute goddamn brain hack to do the dishes.

okay so lets say you wanna do those dishes. they dishes are piling up and its become a jack in the beanstalk situation but instead of fighting giants and medieval poverty, its a sad sad attempt at eating soup with a fork. its okay man, we’ve all been there.

doing ALL the dishes at once seems like an impossible task. its kafkaesque, honestly i dont blame u.

but doing one dish? yeahhh you can handle doing one dish. u got this .

so, you tell yourself you only gotta do one dish, and once that one dish is done, well you might as WELL do the others. i mean they’ll get sad otherwise and you’re already here.

applying this creatively might be forcing yourself to write just one page, which will get you into your groove and then suddenly you’ve written 6 and its some of the best material you’ve ever written.

finally, my biggest suggestion is dont lie to yourself if a project just isnt working. i can tell within the first page of a blog post if its worth finishing.

being creative isn’t always a natural process. it’s uncomfortable work a good 60% of the time. but it’s important to listen to your intuition if you’re struggling to work at it. sometimes, a project you really like has a fundamental flaw thats really preventing you from like,,,, actually getting ideas. its YOUR project, if you dont feel the passion, your audience wont either.

its okay to not finish a project, as long as ur learning and while done is always better than perfect, you dont know you dont like your idea until you do the work fleshing it out.

i hope that helps give you at least a jumping off point yo. i appreciate you coming to my silly goofy self for advice or suggestions, like im flattered for real man

here’s a special cereal gif as a token of appreciation

stay magically delicious man, you got this

PS: im desperate to hear abt michalangelo oh my god please the suspense is killing me. the suspense has infected the water system and the suspense levels in my bloodstream are destroying my bones. my poor skeleton, bro.
