There Are a Variety of Reasons
There could be a variety of explanations, many of them negative, for an inability to finish things: procrastination, disorganization, misjudgment of time, unrealistic expectations, or faulty prioritization. But could there be a positive explanation? Are you curious? Eager to embrace new things? Fascinated by the many aspects of a new situation or endeavor? And so, do you begin more things than you can reasonably hope to finish?
How can you judge your true motives for not finishing things?
I'll bet that you've assumed the worst. The explanation that is most easily grasped is procrastination, because it is commonly written about and commonly lamented. And it is a characteristic that people are more likely to feel that they could control, if only they chose to. The other prospects, such as being disorganized, are harder to acknowledge because they seem more likely to be out of one's control, a disconcerting situation. We don't like to feel that we lack control over our activities. It is also problematic if you feel compelled to engage in too many new pursuits due to greediness or fear of losing out on something.
But if you have a propensity to embrace a great variety of possibilities in life because you find them interesting, that's a plus. However, you may still feel discomfort over your inability to finish them.
