In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, we tackle one of the biggest energy drains no one talks about: unfinished projects.

You’ll learn how to get clarity on your half-done tasks, make intentional decisions about what to finish (and what to release without guilt), and reignite your momentum for what matters most.

Whether you’re a working professional with unfinished work projects, or a student with unfinished academic projects, this episode will give you a clear map forward.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How unfinished projects silently drain your focus and confidence

✅ The real reason we avoid facing half-finished things

✅ A step-by-step strategy to get total clarity on your projects

✅ Criteria for deciding which projects to finish—and which to let go

✅ How to spot the “sunk cost fallacy” and stop it from sabotaging you

✅ How to restart a project strategically (without overwhelming yourself)

✅ How to postpone a project properly (hint: it’s not procrastination!)
