> The most-difficult parts of projects are starting them and ending them.

I'm not sure that is true. Starting is easy. Ending is even easier — you just give up; which is, I would argue, the easiest thing of all for a human to do.

What is hard is taking a project to "I want to share this with other people". That is when the uncomfortable truths get told. As people generally don't like discomfort, there is a lot of motivation to not reach this state.
