Episode description as stored
Sumi talks about the the “Last Lap Syndrome,” that moment where you’ve done 80–90% of the work… but can’t seem to finish a creative project and put it out into the world.
In this episode, Sumi shares:
why creatives (especially those with ADHD tendencies) get stuck before the finish line
the real reason finishing feels harder than starting
how she has personally delayed projects for years (!!) and what she's doing differently now
simple systems and mindset shifts that actually help you close the loop
If you’ve ever had a creative project that's been almost done for too long… this one’s for you.
