As 2019 draws to a close, it can be helpful to think about finishing what you have started. With that in mind, here are some thoughts on finishing projects and seasons well.
Finishing projects
One step to finishing a project comes near the beginning: define what it means for the project to be finished. This could mean getting an article published, submitting a report to your boss or teacher, or creating designs for a product.
In order to finish projects, you must also plan out the steps you will take. Break your big task into smaller ones, and give yourself a short-term deadline for each of them. .
Then when you do finish - celebrate! Take some time to enjoy your accomplishment and reward yourself for all your hard work. Also take some time to consider how the project went what you did well, and what needs improvement. .
Finishing the year
As we come to the end of 2019, it's good to take some time to pause and reflect on the past year. What goals did you reach or what have you learned? What would you like to do differently next year?
While you're thinking, consider things you're thankful for from the year. You could make a list of 12, one for each month, or 52, one for each week. Or just write down as many things as you can think of. This will help you end the year with a positive attitude.
. If you make mistakes, recognize them and then move on. No one can change the past, but you can learn from it and create a new future.
By finished projects and years well, you can move toward your long-term goals and set yourself up for future triumphs.
