Funny enough ... I just listened to this 2021 podcast episode https://timharford.com/2021/05/cautionary-tales-fritterin-away-genius/ https://timharford.com/2021/05/cautionary-tales-fritterin-aw... that goes into some of what you're talking about (of course, it's different - but still amusing to me that the general topic is very similar)
Being a "chronic project starter" is not inherently bad
It may be "bad" or or may not be "bad"
I, likewise, tend to get bored with the middle parts between "idea" and "finalization"
I'm really good at architectural-type stuff - big picture, planning, design, pricing, etc
And I'm really good at detail stuff (get that bar chart 5 pixels further left, and 10% shorter)
The middle (ie really boring parts) ... not so much - I can (and do) do them: but they are distinctly not my favorite :)
The only way that has worked for me to move from "project starter" to "releasing projects" is to have an outside deadline imposed - whether it's needing a new chicken coop before the chicks are big enough to move from the mini coop, or something else: I personally need a hard cutoff from the clock to help me get there
Otherwise ... it just sits on the pile of "I'll get a round tuit"
