I know, how to start a project. I already did that many times successfully.
But I don't really know, how to finish a project because I normally don't do that.
That's probably part of the reason, why I have more motivation to start new projects.
Sometimes it's necessary to have a goal in mind, sometimes I just get motivated from the initial idea.
Often what I do leads to nothing, but that's not true.
Maybe I can reuse something I created along the way. Or maybe I will have a better understanding when I start a new project the next time.
I might also continue work on some old project after some time and make new progress and also have the initial motivation again, since I now know more accurately, how I do it and what I want to achieve.
But sometimes I see some old one and just want to restart because it's not usable.
Or I try to use it because I don't want to do everything I already did, again, and then get stuck because modifying is almost more difficult than starting over, because I want to do it in a way, so that the next time I use it, I will have an easier time, and maybe create a few useful libraries in the process... (I'm getting too much into detail already)
