I usually do. When I can't get something done all by myself and have already started it, I make an arrangement for another person to finish it.

I won't start a project unless I know that I finish it.  Refinished my living room tables now and hate that I have to wait for each coat to dry.  Just want to get it done and move on to the next project

Yes I usually try to. I can't stand something left unfinished.

Yep I do too even though it sometimes takes as much as a year. I got a picture in my head of exactly the way I want my property to look and started last winter on doing a major landscaping project all on my own, a little bit at a time. It's coming along though and is very gratifying work.

It depends what it is.  If it's something that needs to get done then the yeah I would go crazy if I didn't finish.  It's about priorities.  If it's not something that needs to be finished right away, then there could be something else I need to get to.

Unfortunately, I do not. It wasn't one of my new year's resolutions. But it will be next year. I have been so swamped with work and two schools occurring at the same time for me. Hopefully, by next year, my schedule will be a little lighter.

Yes, if it is within my ability, I finish what I start.  I hate to leave things uncompleted and then have to go back and sometimes start all over!
Have a wonderful day!

I finish what I start eventually.  I consider myself a juggler.  I often start something and with having kids have to stop what I'm doing to move onto something else and then return to something else.  For instance.  Today I began filling out a back to school form.  I need information on it from both my husband and son...so I folded it up and put it away until they are available to answer my ???'s.  Also I'm making some cupcakes...I've yet to get to the ingredients...I'll stop doing something to go the store come and likely be asked to stop and do other things before actually getting to the cupcakes.  My typical days...even work is like that.  Stop... adjust to someone else's need and get back to another project.  Things always get done ... just in increments.

At 75, I am slower at getting started and motivated.

However when it starts to pile up on me I jump in and finish it all.

I feel great about it for a day or two, and then I am already behind.

I miss the old vigor.
