Start Finishing: How to Go From Idea to Done

It’s not what you start that counts; it’s what you finish. But more importantly, finishing the work that matters most helps us thrive.

Start Finishing presents a 9-step method for going from an idea that matters to a completed project. It takes a root-cause approach, for too much of the productivity literature works on surface-level tips that help us become better to-do list ninjas while our soul-deep dreams and goals remain eternally out of reach.

Start Finishing won the Eric Hoffer Grand Prize, has been named a Top 10 Business & Economics book for Fall 2019 by Publishers Weekly, was named Best New Time Management and Best New Productivity Book by BookAuthority, and positively reviewed by ForeWord Reviews. It has also received praise from thought leaders like Seth Godin, Dan Pink, Jonathan Fields, Laura Vanderkam, and Susan Piver.

“Paths are made by walking, not waiting. In Start Finishing, Charlie Gilkey lifts us back up and walks us to the finish line of the important goals and ideas we’ve been sitting on. The result of this book is quite honestly a life filled with fewer distractions and a greater sense of daily fulfillment. It’s a must-read that we will undoubtedly be referencing and re-reading in the weeks and months ahead.”

Marc and Angel Chernoff, New York Times best-selling authors of Getting Back to Happy
