+title: My pile of incomplete projects
+date: 2025-04-28
+extra:
+ kind: note
+---
+
+The number of started projects and/or empty checkboxes in my to do list is getting out of hand. I have:
+
+- \> 7 hobby tech projects in a state where I need to put ”just a bit” more effort to them to get them to the finish line,
+- 2 or 3 hobby tech projects that have an incalculable number of man-hours left, and
+- a nebulous cloud of non-tech stuff that should be done (and preferably prioritized).
+
+Starting is easy (and fun), finishing is hard (and dull). Despite having internalized this, it is very tempting to step into the trap willingly and start another one.
+
+### And now?
+
+I’ll make the conscious effort to finish incomplete work before starting new projects. I’m going to be a lot stricter in the scoping of my DIY software: things that are supposed to be small should be very small indeed. No extra features.
