This is me too. I developed an app which was constrained by time (sport event to be precise). I had to work towards a time limit or else it was worthless. I also spent a decent sum money on getting design work done so I wasn't going to quit. The app was big failure but I actually feel very pleased with myself for sticking to something and getting it out the door. Because of this experience I feel more confident about shipping the new product I'm working on. In summary, reasons I believe I got something out the door: - Having an actual deadline - Working with others - Investing your own money Having a deadline means you have something to aim for. Otherwise it's just too easy to be working on something for ever. This twinned with seeing you become out of pocket for not sticking to your deadline is a motivator too. By working with others I don't just mean working on a project with a buddy. I mean the people I hired to do designs or do research. These people often came back to me asking questions about what I wanted done so I wasn't able to stop thinking about the project for too long. Having people help out also made sure that I had stuff ready for them to work on too. Good luck. edit - when I had to research / collect media for the app I encountered some really painful problems - which is now the basis for my present project!
