YES. I don't know what the answer is...there is just too much to explore with too little time.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103814391301666060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23458391.post-72546169841963864722008-01-01T14:14:00.000-05:002008-01-01T14:14:00.000-05:00Yep.

In my (ahem) second abandoned doctoral degree, I worked with a woman who talked about the "perils of multipotentiality" which was a fancy way of saying that smart people get distracted easily and don't dig in and finish stuff, because the first, say, 80% is so easy and they don't do well with the final 20%. <BR/><BR/>Ask me if my bees have gotten anything but cursory attention this year. . . A friend of mine once laughed when I told her I feared being a dilettante for the rest of my life.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I feel your pain. Spinning took away my knitting but I'm easing back into it, and I'm very impressed that you've noted your tendency and have some idea of confronting the parts that bother you.Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23458391.post-24852235582577248972007-12-27T20:19:00.000-05:002007-12-27T20:19:00.000-05:00We all have our foibles, and in the light of clear...We all have our foibles, and in the light of clear, rational thought, they don't really make sense. Don't be hard on yourself, you're not the only one with that sort of habit.<BR/><BR/>Want to know what mine is? When something isn't working out, I pick the next harder thing and do that instead so I can chicken out without feeling like I chickened out. If you're abandoning something for something even harder, it's not the same as failing, right?<BR/><BR/>Ahem. Yeah. So... that glossing over difficult bits to obsess over something habit isn't all that bad. It's just one of the things that makes you special and lovable.Battyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892116045581715793noreply@blogger.com
