I tell all my friends about it.

I owe them to finish my projects, they know that if I promise something I deliver.

This helps, I'm working since oct 2016 on a project, I don't like it anymore since march 2017, the honeymoon is over, the tech stack is boring and the project makes me upset every time I have to write code.

I'm still coding every day, it should be done next month.

I'm doing this too, after a long time trying to do the opposite because it was frustrating to have to explain why I didn't finished something. It's better to have social pressure than not, actually.

Totally, especially when we care about those people and when we value their opinions.
