When Achiever and Creator pull apart
The Creator wants to make. The Achiever wants to finish. The Creator starts a dozen projects. The Achiever wants one done. The Creator sees deadlines as a threat to the spark. The Achiever sees endless making as a way to dodge.
How they help each other
Together they make finished work: ideas that reach the end. The Creator brings the spark. The Achiever brings the follow-through.
One small thing to try
Making without finishing can stay a daydream. Finishing only to finish can drain the life from the work. Pick the projects worth finishing, then finish them.
