O-H-I-O

"Only handle it once" was a saying that some guru used to clear up a mess when I was flipping stations once. It stuck with my memory, but the principle never did. I tend to keep things much longer than I should. I have the best intentions to do something but I get distracted and a neglected mess is born.
It's not procrastination so much as a lack of will power to see things through to the end. Perhaps if I read this book, The Plateau Effect: Getting from Stuck to Success, I'll subconsciously start completing the things I start? Couldn't hurt, but I must finish a few things first... I should probably do them before I type another word.
