“I commit hard, then quit the moment it stops being fun.”

You start everything with real conviction and abandon it right when the dull, difficult middle arrives — the exact place where keeping your word actually means something. A commitment you only honor while it's enjoyable was never really a commitment; it was an enthusiasm. The pattern is costing you finished things and, worse, your own belief that you finish things. The fix lives in the part you keep skipping.

Your Practice

  1. Name the current thing you're about to quit. Notice it's right at the hard part.
  2. Commit to a fixed finish line, not a feeling. 'Until done,' not 'until bored.'
  3. Push through one stretch of the dull middle this week without bailing.
  4. Finish one thing fully. The proof that you can will change what you commit to.
