The Things We Start
Why do we start things we don’t finish?
Over the past few years I’ve tried to write a book, host a podcast, run an online business, design an iPhone app, and who knows what else. They were all great things, and really fun, but I didn’t finish one of them! How come?
And that got me thinking… It’s not just me. We all do it. Even social networking goes through patterns of starting and stopping.
Does this look like your life?
– got on myspace
- got a new email address
- got on facebook
- started a blog
- started subscribing to blogs
- deleted myspace
- played with facebook apps
- blocked facebook apps
- got another new email address
- got a twitter page
- stopped blogging
- consolidated emails
- stopped tweeting
- signed up for google wave
- and here we are…
Ok… so maybe this looks familiar now. (at least I hope I’m not the only one)
So why is it that we continue to follow this pattern? Perhaps it is a sign of something deeper going on inside of us. What do you think?
I’ve written some thoughts in a post titled The Things We Continue.
