Hehe - the implication of the blog title, is supposed to be that I'm smart, but that I can't seem to get things done. I mean, I do get things done, but they never seem finished to my satisfaction. (... might sound arrogant.)
Being a reluctant student at university, I plague myself with educational tasks that I don't really want to do, the latest of which being my Seminar. I have to create a 20 page research essay on some topic.
I got going quite well, but then got mired down in muddy incomplete and mutually exclusive economic theories, and I ground to a halt.
Firstly, what helped me the most was to accept that I wasn't going anywhere.
My evenings suddenly became tolerable, I didn't stay up late into the night trying to figure out things I had no clue about. And I started to re-write my essay, leaving out much of the tasty things that I had wanted to include.
I'm not quite done yet, but I hope in 3 more days to have a presentable copy.
But what this experience made me think of the most, was the fact, that I seem to repeatedly find myself in situations, where I start out well, and then get into trouble because I try to do something fancy and exciting.
Nothing speaks against it, but tbh. I consider getting dull things fully done to be more exciting than starting exciting things.
Maybe if you get some slightly dull things done easily, you still have time to do some other cool things.
