I don't think my philosophy is radically different from yours. My experience is similar to yours, and in fact I'm only really productive when I have a lot of (too many?) projects on the go.
I'm not suggesting you should commit every waking moment to a project until it's completed (if I did, I'd be guilty of the worst hypocrisy). Rather, I'm suggesting that if you want to complete a creative project, you need to commit to regular work on it, starting now and not at some unspecified point in the future.

Once you are "ready" you've got to spend your time and effort (over sometimes very long periods) into transferring abstract concepts into concrete/shareable products.

Glad I read your post, now I found a couple of others to read. (you Pointed to Paul Graham: http://www.paulgraham.com/procrastination.html http://www.paulgraham.com/procrastination.html & John Perry: http://www.structuredprocrastination.com/ http://www.structuredprocrastination.com/ ) Looks like procrastination is a hot topic for many of us.
