This sounds like it about doing projects for the sake of saying they're completed?

My projects tend to be because I want something from them (explore a new toolset; have a working dish disposal; make my car able to play audio from bluetooth; not have to care about network filtering on random wifi aps; get a history of just how bad the temperature difference between rooms at home really is). They're "done" when either I have (enough of) what I want, or I lose interest and decide it doesn't matter that much anyway.

I think a lot of people suffer from guilt/shame/nagging thoughts/distraction because they start a lot of things and then lose track of them (the opposite of "mind like water") .

So this is a technique for people who start a lot of things to work in such a way that they can feel better about what they do
