Starting is never enough.
To get there you need follow-thru.
Be glad. The way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas to choose from. But the next step is choosing. If you don't choose, all you will get is more ideas.
You will choose today. Even if you only choose to wait
Listen to the methods of the mouth. Your mouth said you had chosen. You didn't get the rest of your brain in on the job. You get the rest of your brain on the job by making concrete plans.
Concrete plans break up a big job into little joblets. Joblets that you can carry out in about a half-hour each. Concrete enough that you can imagine how you would do them.
Too much trouble to break it down that way? Then quit now. If it is too much trouble to plan, it will be too much trouble to execute. Make a new choice. Find an idea that is not too much trouble to plan. Maybe that one will not be too much trouble to execute.
The methods of the mouth.
Chop jobs into joblets
If you don't have plans you don't know what you are starting. And you don't know where you are going. You don't even know whether you want to get there. You might as well just be spinning your wheels.
But if you really are a self-starter, start yourself by planning the job into joblets. Then use your self-starter on the joblets. One joblet at a time.
When you to that last joblet. you find the secret of follow-thru.
