520    "Year after year, readers pulled me aside at events and 
       said, "I've never had a problem starting. I've started a 
       million things, but I never finish them. Why can't I 
       finish? According to studies, 92 percent of New Year's 
       reso-lutions fail. You've practically got a better shot at
       getting into Juilliard to become a ballerina than you do 
       at finishing your goals. For years, I thought my problem 
       was that I didn't try hard enough. So I started getting up
       earlier. I drank enough energy drinks to kill a horse. I 
       hired a life coach and ate more superfoods. Nothing worked,
       although I did develop a pretty nice eyelid tremor from 
       all the caffeine. It was like my eye was waving at you, 
       very, very quickly. Then, while leading a thirty-day 
       online course to help people work on their goals, I 
       learned something surprising: The most effective exercises
       were not those that pushed people to work harder. The ones
       that got people to the finish line did just the opposite--
       they took the pressure off. Why? Because the sneakiest 
       obstacle to meeting your goals is not laziness, but 
       perfectionism. We're our own worst critics, and if it 
       looks like we're not going to do something right, we 
       prefer not to do it at all. That's why we're most likely 
       to quit on day two, "the day after perfect"--When our 
       results almost always underperform our aspirations. The 
       strategies in this book are counterintuitive and might 
       feel like cheating. But they're based on studies conducted
       by a university researcher with hundreds of participants. 
       You might not guess that having more fun, eliminating your
       secret rules, and choosing something to bomb intentionally
       works. But the data says otherwise. People who have fun 
       are 43 percent more successful! Imagine if your diet, 
       guitar playing, or small business was 43 percent more 
       successful just by following a few simple principles. If 
       you're tired of being a chronic starter and want to become
       a consistent finisher, you have two options: You can 
       continue to beat yourself up and try harder, since this 
       time that will work. Or you can give yourself the gift of 
       done"--|cProvided by publisher.
