Bragi,

have you ever had the Myers-briggs personality indicator done on you? There is a whole personality type (of which I am a member, for better or for worse) that has trouble with completing things, with perfection issues, being forced into doing something, etc.

Myers-briggs types are these four-letter combinations of Introvert/Extravert, iNtuition/Sensory, Feeling/Thinking, Perceiving/Judging. So, ISFP, ENTJ, INTP, types like that are how they categorize your natural way of doing things. (that's a super-duper abbreviated version of what it's all about, sorry)

They even give little phrases to the different types to help you remember them, and they're very telling. My phrase?: I Never Find Perfection (INFP)

I can't count the number of unfinished projects I've left in my wake

Not sure if it's an ACOA thing or just me......but either way, it's not a trait I like in myself so I'm working on it. I just finished a stone patio this summer after working on it for a year (sigh)

Hugs,
GL
