Alternative take: you don't, you can't, and there's nothing you can really do about it. The successful people you see are just the lucky ones whose attention was already turned to things that could make them successful and they just went with it. Because what they were focused on was valuable, society rewarded them, which created a feedback loop of positive reinforcement and kept them focused. Instead, just try to finish something. Anything. Complete literally any of your projects, and probably during your "interest window". Decide to be someone who finishes stuff, even if it's not perfect. That'll be valuable enough on its own. Flit from thing to thing, finishing them in the barest-of-minimum way, while still "completing" the work. Give each thing you're interested in pursuing a chance at collecting real feedback, and see if that feedback sparks further interest. If it does, keep going. If it doesn't, move on.
