An uncompleted project is like Poe's raven except it perches on that bust of Rodney Dangerfield above your door and gives you no respect until it is done, done, done.
They differ from projects that have never been started. Those creatures may foster regret but produce little stress. They are wimps. The uncompleted projects are savage. They will peck at you and rustle their feathers while you are trying to sleep. They'll haunt your mind and their ability to instill guilt is legendary.
You can do two things: Abandon the project entirely or complete it. The latter may be done incrementally or in one focused effort. Once a decision is made to do the former, however, the commitment should be severed quickly and without remorse. Your attention should be quickly directed elsewhere.
After all, you've got some uncompleted projects.
