My problem is not finishing something. Because the context around a project always evolves, you can't really say it's ever finished. I can (now) easily get to the phase where a project is ready to accept users (which is what I suppose is meant with "finished").
My biggest problem is finding the energy to market the thing/find users outside of the ones I built it for.
I've worked on a tool for product managers (I built it for myself first) that attracts about 5 to 10 users every month (it's free).
I released a tool for a lab manager friend of mine. I wanted it to attract more users than his (enthousiast) staff, but I can't be bothered marketing the thing (except a lame post on LinkedIn).
And so on... Now I'm building a niche appointment planner, hoping I can get other sites to do the user recruitment for me (through affiliate marketing).
So it's never been about getting the project in a state where it's ready to accept user feedback but more about finding the motivation to go and market it.

- LaundroMat 6y agoOh, I see what you mean. Maybe it is, indeed.
