How to Use The Circle of Completion

What is the Circle of Completion? Rewards come to those who finish. Are you a finisher? Or do you run around starting new projects and leave other obligations hanging? Have left the uncompleted tasks, failed to get closure, or just forgotten? You can’t embrace the future when you fail to close the past.

Having incompleteness in your life takes up precious energy and attention from you moving forward. Think about it. When you move on from an unfinished project your mind always drifts back to it. Like a bad debt you didn’t pay and the creditors are coming for you. It’s like a past relationship that keeps haunting your new one. Something from your past holds you hostage and it prohibits future movement.

Incompleteness can come from being too busy and taking on projects, requests, and tasks you can’t say no to. Or self-limiting beliefs, bad work habits, and inadequate systems to handle your workflow. Procrastination and just plain laziness are also factors.

Don’t Leave It Open

Failure to finish can have a negative impact on your subconscious mind. Self-talk derails you because you are thinking, “How can I make that sale if I can never find my stapler, calculator, or paperwork?” These little quirks stop your progress.
