I too go through these cycles on my many projects; sometimes grudgingly finishing them with hate or passion. To me, I didn't see it as a divergence cycle between impact and vision, although this makes a lot of sense and gives me a nice hack to get out of this vicious cycle. To me, it felt purely hormonal. I go through phases were I can't stop committing code and the polar opposite: Netflix and chill, code allergy, creative rot. The key is to know that it will turn around, because the interest and curiosity that got you there in the first place, is bound to come back. Good ideas are like bad smells, they have a tendency to stick around...
