I have an idea for a system that will prevent me from doing this all the time. It involves making a program. Everyone is going to love this, let me know if you want on my email list.
Only problem is I don't know how to code yet, but I am going to teach myself.
First of all, how dare you.
I find you offensive.
It's actually a researched phenomenon. Basically, by telling people about your goals, you get a similar dopamine hit to actually completing the goal, which reduces the drive to complete it.

This is why I don't usually tell anyone. Although last time I worked on a project I told a bunch of people hoping it would incentivise me to finish. Did it work? Oh my no.
That's why I don't tell anyone, my hoard of unfinished projects is just mine to look at
Its a glorious monument to ambition!
I suppose that's a healthier way of looking at it :/
Tell no one but get bothered into explaining what your doing
I am going to finish the game i have been ignoring for half a decade, i just have to finish the minecraft mod im working on, my modded terraria world, celeste, deadcells, my modded minecraft world, switching back to gnome, installing google play services on my phone, cats are liquid a better place and a light in the shadows, the other 2 games i forgot about, 2 minigames on a minecraft server that i couldnt work on because i didnt have friends to test the game with and learn rust and bevy engine
literally me.
Although, I have them in a checkbox style list and in my fading memory, not in a run-on sentence.
Where is the part that I find out that I don't have the skills and it would take me years to learn to do what I want to do?
Nah, you gotta tell everyone before you start and realize how much work it's going to be
I still tell people about my projects, but at this point I just also tell them straight-up that I'll never finish it.
I can't even get past having an idea. 😭
Where does the, "regret having ever started it" for into that process?
