Find a partner to work with.
Another comment mentions finding a partner who can finish your work, but personally I think that's horrible advice.
The main things are sharing workload and working as peers. Review each others code, do some pair-programming even if it seems a waste of time to you (or the other person). Feedback and collaboration create action which moves your project forward.
Explain to your partner that finishing is not exactly one of your strengths. They're bound to have weaknesses too, ask them about that and find a way to help them with theirs. For yours, when you find yourself zoning out, getting bored, reading HN, etc, get your partner to do some pair-programming (or testing, documenting, researching, whatever) to get you back on track.
Forget about personality tests, medication and whatnot. Working with a partner will teach you the behavioral patterns you need and a lot more besides.
- nico 17y agoI fully identify with the OP and some others commenting here. I've tried partnering with someone and it works great, the bad thing is that you end up always depending on someone else. If you don't have a partner to do something, then you don't do it... or don't finish it :(
