How do you approach planning the projects? Do you just sit and start coding? I can only guess what are the issues are with the information you provided, but I guess you discard your projects because you are not invested in them. People tend to stick to ideas they invested more time and effort.
I think you would attach more value to a project if you plan it first.
Use something to test your idea first. If by meaningful project you mean something that others can use and solve a real life problem, maybe take a look at The Startup Owner's Manual (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13557008-the-startup-owner-s-manual https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13557008-the-startup-own...).
If your idea withstand the first tests and you want to commit to it, describe in general lines what is to be done, describe some general, doable deadlines, maybe use a Kanban board. You should have at least an idea of the scope of the project before you start. Do not think about a finished, polished product. Think about something functional, that is shippable. You can polish it later.
