Focus on really short term projects first. Get those done before committing to larger projects. If it is a large project, find a way to break it down in pieces you can call done, that can stand by themselves. e.g. MVP, service, etc. At the end of the day, you're going to need discipline to ask yourself whether the project is dead because it turned out to be a bad idea, or whether the easy part is done and now you're in the deep pit of work that has to happen and are being lazy. Discipline is the only thing that will get you through that slog.
