If I don't have a long enough stretch of time to do it all at once, I ain't starting it.
But seriously, getting medicated has done wonders for being able to start multi-day projects. I'm learning VBA right now because I want to automate some of my processes at work. I'm finally cool with starting something I can't finish today. Generally, I want my code to do some fairly specific and complex things. So I'm happy to spend a few hours tweaking a block to make it do exactly what I want, and it feels so good when it works as expected. But before getting on meds? Nah, I wouldn't even entertain the idea because I wouldn't know where to start. Medicine helps me draw up an outline of what I want to do with my code, then achieve those tasks bit by bit.
And that's applied across everything I do. It's okay to not finish today. But it's important to start.
