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.

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.

"When other people take notice of an individual's identity-related behavioral intention, this gives the individual a premature sense of possessing the aspired-to identity."

That's why I don't tell anyone, my hoard of unfinished projects is just mine to look at

literally me.

Although, I have them in a checkbox style list and in my fading memory, not in a run-on sentence.

Nah, you gotta tell everyone before you start and realize how much work it's going to be

I can't even get past having an idea. 😭

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I still tell people about my projects, but at this point I just also tell them straight-up that I'll never finish it.

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Where does the, "regret having ever started it" for into that process?
