I am sure this advice worked for you, but I find it ironic that to "finish" a side project, you should not "finish" sub-tasks. However I completely agree that you should make it as easy as possible for you to get started and see some success. For me that usually starts with a mockup and bit by bit the mockup becomes something more.

Definitely. I didn't intend my comment to be taken as a 'one trick to rule them all and make sure you'll finish your side projects from now on' :). It's simply a dirt simple trick that helped me a lot because it keeps a 'live thread' between the project and me. This feature I know I have to finish, the low friction to start, ... It's not a silver bullet, and of course at some point you have to finish stuff up to complete your project. Starting small is definitely a good idea as well indeed.
