Finish the album. Finish the book. Finish the app. Unfinished genius looks exactly like nothing.

Potential that never leaves your drafts is indistinguishable from potential that was never there. Finishing is its own skill, separate from talent, and it is the one most people never practise, because the last stretch is boring and exposing at the same time. An unfinished thing stays perfect in your head, which is part of why it is hard to let go of.

Take the project closest to done and give it a real end date this month. Accept that the finished version will be worse than the imagined one. Finish it anyway, because the next one starts from higher ground.
