I didn’t really find the “you’re a scanner and it’s ok” talk very helpful. My Reward is finding out how something is done and if I can do it – usually, as soon as I know that I’m capable of doing something, I lose interest. That leads to very few finished projects and when I do finish them, it’s through ‘blood, sweat and tears’. The book tells me to accept this, to accept that I won’t finish many projects (or that I’ll do a “Scanner’s Finish”), but I can’t! I want to have something to show for my interests, to be good at all those things, it’s just so bloody hard to follow through and actually do things that I know I can do.
Meh. Maybe it’s just my current state of mind and I’d feel better about this if I’d read it at some other time.

OTOH, at least it gave me a name for my life strategy (having a “Good Enough Job”) and told me it’s ok not to find a perfect job. :)

_{PS. For further reference, I’m probably a “Sybil”-type, with some “Jack-of-all-trades” sprinkled on top.}
