Grass is Greener Syndrome can be tough to handle. I struggle with it myself. Strategies that I find helpful include: - Cut back on the tech-news. The actionable Signal:Noise is terrible, even here on HN. Too easy to get distracted by the shiny new tech or worked up over some injustice. Try setting Noprocrast in your profile or adopting one of the many distraction-blockers out there. - Chunk project time into blocks (eg. 1 calendar month) and commit to a given project for the entire chunk. Each month return the current project to the pool, then pick one thing to work on for another month. - Three strike rule. Any project you switch away from three times is clearly not that interesting. Archive all the work, remove it from the pool, and stop thinking about it. Maybe revisit in a year to see if it's worth giving it another chance. - Toss the stale stuff. Anything in the pool for more than, say, 6 months, isn't interesting enough (or you would have worked on it). Exception: if you've been focused on a single project the whole time... in which case, why do you even need a pool?
