I think that it's a general human-nature rule. We love new things but we discount what ever WAS new and become less enthusiastic about it over time. I've had hobbies where, for years, I could not get enough of them simply because I was always asking questions and looking for the answers. They always felt new. I wonder, and I'm thinking out loud, if looking to expand projects with new and ever harder questions will keep the momentum going. Also, projects have a lifecycle of their own - very few will last a long time. So it's important to note that we need to put a rush on getting them done. Not because someone is waiting for them but because we lose interest, if there is no forward movement. I'm one that always starts projects but I never give them hard deadlines so they eventually get dropped simply because I don't move them forward. I think that rewarding yourself by hitting milestones will definitely help.
