Well, part of the issue might be that I don't have definitive goals in terms of projects I want to complete. I like doing stuff (with code and cs and related things). I enjoy doing stuff. I did some basic game development when I was younger, and I do web development type stuff more now. I play around with language development occasionally. I do lots of stuff and I like all of that stuff... at first. But then the interest dies away.
I suppose part of the problem is that I struggle in achieving balance between the means and the product. I feel like being passionate about the product but not about the means is a bad thing, because the work itself can become tiresome if you're not into it. But if you care about the means and not about the product, then you'll lose interest (as I do) because you don't see where the work is leading you.
So maybe I need to get some more passion about a product instead of just enjoying the process of making it, even if ultimately that's what I'm really after. But I'm not sure exactly how to do that (or to keep the feeling around if it floats in for a bit).
