Hey Danny, Thank you for the AMA. I face this a lot. Start working on something new and promising have lots of interest and commitment. After sometime if there is a detour in personal aspects/professional/be anything. I hardly feel like getting back to those projects and I am not talking about few hours of time. Spending weeks. I am sure many people face this too. Have you faced this or have suggestions on how 1. Not get into those projects in first place 2. If start working on stay till the completion.

Hey Girish. LOVE this question.

IMPORTANCE. Say this with me, not joking. Say it out loud. IMPORTANCE. When you disregard that project, you have mentally said "This isn't important" and you have prioritized WHAT IS important.

When you are ready to come back to it, mentally you are asking yourself "Why waste my time with something that isn't important?" So you disregard it.

You need to have a purpose for whatever you are doing. MAKE THE GOAL SO BIG and so attractive, that it never loses its importance! Make it so big that you get excited by the idea! if you do that, you will never disregard a project again.

IMPORTANCE! Hope this helps.

Thank you <3 Danny Thompson
