    You know I would finish my projects if I wasn’t so addicted to being lazy.
    But seriously its a habit I need to break.

    Sometimes it’s also necessary for me to have something like a “startline” not only a deadline…
    E.g. I say “Ok the thing must be ready at thursday and I definetly start on tuesday 10am”… so I can chill the next days and on tuesday 10am I start, no matter what…

    love this business blog!

    Golden, I need to stop taking this for granted on commercial projects and start putting it to use with personal work.

    Great video!
