It is easier to focus on how much time we have left to start a new project than to focus on completing a project. This is just another way of procrastinating, by focusing our attention on the amount of time we have remaining, instead of working on the task itself. When we are focusing on the task itself, we are no longer distracted. It’s hard to be pulled away from the work when we are concentrating and focusing on the task. Actually working on a task is real and specific rather than something that is abstract like time; we can’t pick up or touch. Therefore, it is easier to dismiss our time we have while it is harder to confront the reality of a task, because doing something new always requires time and patience.
