You’re nearly there. Momentum has taken over. There’s no stopping it.
But that’s fine. There merely needs to be stopping the brain about it.
A moment to reflect, ask interesting questions, and mentally plan for success or failure.
More often than not, being almost to the end is a cop out from the work of pausing, scrutinizing, and, ya know, maybe delaying the completion (but for the right reasons, of course).
Our brains suck at letting us do this. Best you schedule it on the calendar the day before “done” is supposed to happen.
