I've heard a lot of stories about people who never get round to finishing their projects for different reasons, so I wanted to know what helps people finish projects they start.

I personally haven't finished a project yet, but I've gotten pretty far and I wouldn't have. First of all, I told people about it. This put pressure on me to finish it. Not only on the forums, but friends and family as well.

Second, balance the good and the hard parts. Don't do all the fun parts first, otherwise you'll never get around to doing the boring parts, and that's a shame.

Last, put comments in your work! If you leave you work for a week and don't put comments you'll come back not understanding anything. All that code will have gone to waste.

OK, those are what I have to say now I wanna hear from you guys.
