How to Finish What You Start (Even If You're Easily Distracted)

Struggling to finish projects because your attention gets pulled in seventeen different directions? You're not broken - you just need a finishing system designed for scattered brains. In this episode of The Overwhelmed Entrepreneur, Cindy Gordon reveals why willpower-based finishing advice fails for easily distracted entrepreneurs and shares her Strategic Finishing Method for actually completing what matters.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why your brain releases dopamine when starting projects but loses interest in the middle (and how to work with this, not against it)
• The reality check audit that helps you strategically abandon projects that no longer serve you
• How to break projects into "attention-span chunks" that work with scattered focus
• The momentum triggers that automatically pull you back to important work when distractions happen
• Why "good enough to progress" beats perfectionist paralysis every time

Perfect for: Easily distracted entrepreneurs, business owners with ADHD traits, female entrepreneurs who struggle with follow-through, and anyone tired of being a "serial starter who never finishes."

Episode Highlights: "The problem isn't your willpower or your character - it's that you're trying to use finishing strategies designed for brains that work completely differently than yours."

"Finished and imperfect beats perfect and abandoned every single time."

"Your scattered attention isn't evidence that you're not cut out for entrepreneurship - it's often exactly what makes you creative, adaptable, and innovative."
