Any suggestions on how to curate my mindset for the McKinsey interview cases? I am currently at another firm that focuses largely on implementation rather than the strategy work, how to get my mind focused on high level rather than implementing the high-level things?

Push yourself to think of the big picture, even if it seems like you’re answering one little question.
Practice the mindset by thinking about your current client - what impact does the implementation project have on the whole business? How would a delay impact the revenue cycle of the company? Why did they decide to go with the requirements that they did? What would have to change for them to have made a different choice? Etc.

I keep starting huge projects or hobbies and being intensely into it for about 10 days/2 weeks, after which I forget about it and the project just lays around my house for months until I get interested in it again or I toss it out/donate it. It was fine when I was living alone but my partner is seriously frustrated with how messy the house gets and how much I spend on supplies for these things. How can I be less impulsive OR how can I stay motivated past the 10 day mark?? TIA
