Making Real Progress: Make a list of things you would like to finish up from last year.

Over the past few weeks, I have been trying very hard to wind up projects. (See Finishing Projects and Update On Finishing Projects). I find myself still looking at things that have been started, but never really moved on. So I asked myself, what else would I like to finish from last year?
I find I have to qualify that question: do I have to have started it, or is it something that has been on the Someday list for a really long time. And how big of a list should I choose?
I have decided to pick five things that I have already started, each in different areas of my life, and complete those projects before I move onto other things. Given the momentum I have been building up from working on a limited amount of projects, I think this will not be a problem.
