Day 21
To abandon or to get it done?
Unfinished painting by Benjamin West, 1783.
Back on Day 12 you considered your shelved projects. Maybe you don’t want to finish them. That’s okay. Really, you don’t have to. It can be a relief to give up.
Go through your creative backlog and decide what to abandon. But here’s the kicker: every project you keep…you must commit to finish.
