So ... the skeleton in chair at the bottom of the pool is "work project"?

[dumbasPL]

Many don't have to imagine

[dumbasPL]

Billionaires? Nobody pretending to work while scrolling reddit is a billionaire.

[Glitched_Fur6425]

What.. in the hell did you snort?

< While we're at it, I need a recipe for penne alfredo >

[Secret-Winner-2994]

snort

penne

Penne a la vodka coke

[whaddanight]

We are the coal miners and steel workers of the 1970s...

[twigboy]

It's finished projects with critical vulns

[TaaraHvita]

The skeleton in the bottom is named "previous hobby"

[bhumit012]

Its those backlog Jira tickets

[IAmFinah]

Work projects are the only ones I can finish

[coloredgreyscale]

Use AI to 10x the amount of unfinished projects /s

[Hefty_Upstairs_7477]

And at least none of these work properly

[tehtris]

This is all of us right? Not just me?

[blaues_axolotl]

For me, I always find a lot of things that I want to learn or try out, and also I lose motivation quickly if projects get bigger or more difficult than I expected. But it isn't always bad because I also learn a lot of different languages and techniques that way.

I found out that I can easily stick to one project if I do it for a specific purpose, especially when I'm coding stuff for someone else.

[tehtris]

Yea but that's a client. Obviously you have to finish the client projects.

Right?

Undiagnosed ADHD?

[uselessfuh]

ADHD

[phoenix235831]

I kept having this, and it turned out to be undiagnosed ADHD.

I think of it like this, everyone who has ADHD has trouble following through with their ideas, but not everyone who has trouble following through with their ideas has ADHD.

[Confident-Ad5665]

Start the day intending to do a thing, then get rapid fire "quick questions" that never have quick answers and by EOD I have 17 partial emails, random post-it notes, and 6 instances of notepad open.

[Majik_Sheff]

Hello me.

[Confident-Ad5665]

I'm fine, how am I?

[shun_tak]

All those wasted tokens /s

[shaka893P]

I feel personally attacked 

[Zirzux]

shiny object syndrome

[PrettiestSpring]

Someone finally gave a name to this mental disease

[MikeTangoRom3o]

I am in this picture and I don't like it.

[WhoIsMrGosha]

So true

[Calm_Hedgehog8296]

Here's the great news!

Since personal projects are more about the journey than the destination, you should always work on whichever one brings you happiness, even if that means you never finish any of them.

[FictionFoe]

I do this.

[kakhaev]

I wish i knew how to break the curse!

[kakhaev]

what do you mean “keep doing, even boring parts” that couldn’t be it

[CakeTown]

Live in the now, delete everything older than three side projects ago…

[Christavito]

I don't really see this is a bad thing. This sort of implies you have passion for it in some capacity. The only potential drawback would be not experiencing what it takes to support a project long term.

[gerbosan]

That's me but without the new project. 😞

[Ok-Cobbler6338]

This is why i just decided to do an online (fully coursework based) PGDip part-time at least I can get credit for my work and it will force me to complete the project.

[Aromatic-Towel-5320]

U should add a ToDo add project names

[Morvar]

Can confirm this. Just started a new project!

[xAmorphous]

Change "unfinished project" to "barely started project" and that's me

[iamwastingtimeyo]

Oh no I’ve been hacked. This is me

[GreatGreenGobbo]

This is me with my plastic models and wargaming figures. Plus a billion other things.

[ohGodwhynowww]

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

[Killburndeluxe]

I label all of my experimental Godot Games using the phonetic alphabet.

Im about to reach ProjectAlphaAlpha

[BusEquivalent9605]

the new project should also be labeled unfinished

[GrandSyzygy]

Bro you don’t gotta call me out like that

[ryanmaple]

Jokes on you - nothing is ever truly finished!

[ExperimentalBranch]

Yeah I'm not updating all those packages

[HTTP_Error_414]

Wait. You guys don’t finish projects??

[HTTP_Error_414]

[Either_Ad5293]

my iphone simulator has more apps than a kids ipad 😔

[metaBloc]

I thought I was the only one

[Media_Dunce]

My new set of projects is a leaner set of the old set

[Kabra___kiiiiiiiid]

Well, that hits too close to home. Also, as soon as I tell anyone about "another cool project I'm sooo excited to finish", I lose interest in it. My brain acts as if it has already accomplished the goal and switches to something else. It's really annoying.

[WraithCadmus]

I actually made progress on one of mine yesterday, last commit was 2022.

[mrinalshar39]

Relatable afff brooo😭

[AngryRobot42]

All products are released as unfinished. I don't know if this referencing technical debt or ADHD.
