"What project?" I say, as I start a third project after getting bored with the second project and completely forgetting that the first project ever existed.

That's why this meme sounds unrealistic to me. If you would do it like this, you would actually finish your projects. But what happens to me at least is that there is some step overwhelming me and blocking me from continuing a project. So I start new projects that don't seem overwhelming at first, but obviously do get difficult at some point. So then I'm stuck there too and I venture on to new projects. The only way to actually finish anything is if there is some accountability (someone is pushing me to do it) or if I get help solving an overwhelming step. But that can just happen randomly or never at all. So that's why I end up with millions of unfinished projects that make me feel bad about myself.
