I had a similar problem. The cause was simple: New projects are fun. After a while any project becomes boring and we find ourselves longing for something more interesting to work on. Our minds are good at rationalizing away unpleasantries. The solution is also simple: Just do it. Treat it like a job. Understand that it's not going to be fun. Passion burns brightly and then fades away. You're going to need to make a schedule -- a routine you can build your life around. Work on the project for, say, three hours a day. Then it's just a matter of grinding out the weeks and months until your done.
