The biggest barrier to completing projects in writing is focus. In today’s high-tech world, there are plenty of more-entertaining and more-pleasant ways to spend time.
Whether its burning and listening to your music on an iPod, Web surfing, TV, videogames, fishing, hitting the greens with your Ping Golf equipment or even just spending time with your significant other, there’s always something you’d rather be doing than writing.
We’re all guilty of it, so let’s just be honest: writing is hard work and the best way never to finish anything is to let yourself get distracted. Of course, you’ll never get published that way. Trust me.
