Ask HN: How do you stick to projects?
When I read your question, I thought you were writing about me.  I have the same tendencies and I think it may be related to the &quot;progress curve&quot;.  Early when you are learning or trying something, it&#x27;s very interesting because everything is new and the learning opportunities are everywhere.  Progress is rapid and there are few difficult barriers in the early going.  When the thing you are doing no longer scratches that &quot;learning immediacy&quot; itch and continued progress takes longer duration of focus, the new shiny loses its luster and you move on to the next thing.  Some people seem to just have the discipline and focus to keep plugging away.  I&#x27;m not sure if that is learned, genetic, or can be arrived at through the use of some sort of system, but I don&#x27;t have it, and I think it is the thing you seek.  Let me know if you find it!
