a person who cannot stick to anything.

He can't stick to anything very long.

彼は何事でも三日坊主だ。 - Tanaka Corpus

三日坊主

Give up easily

We could also say a quitter.

"Don't be a quitter."

"He is a quitter."

There isn't an exact translation
for someone who quits after three days.

It is a great phrase in Japanese!!!

The literal transition of 三日坊主 in English is "three day monk".
It means that what one started doesn't continue for a long time.
I think "三日" expresses a short time, but why is "坊主" used in this word?
So, I researched it and I was able to understand.
Even if people who want to become a monk shave their head bald, most of them can't stick with the hard ascetic training and will stop it after three days.
From the shaveling story, it seems the word "三日坊主" was made.
Well, I will study English without being a "三日坊主".
