It is really sad when I start some side project and then lose interest
It is really sad when I start some side project and then lose interest
I end up making myself finish it so that it is at least done

You guys are finishing projects…
-
I used to not finish most of my projects not feeling fun or important anymore, and felt bad about it.
Then I had a car modification project that I felt I had to finish to earn my self-respect, no matter the suffering.
I damaged my health with the dusts and vapors involved, and had to redefine finished (not like I wanted, just MOT-tested and saleable) to get out of the project.
Now I take only important projects seriously and avoid side projects. I do easy side projects to relax.

The road to success is paved initially with failures.

My road is paved with inattention caused by ADHD and hyper focusing on the wrong thing.

I'm shooting for done enough. I just want to move on to New things and I need my project dept lighter to do so.

Why is done better than not?
-
Because I often work on things and software used by others in the community.
Also I don't like leaving a trail of unfinished work
-
The first thing requires more explanation - why is something used by others, (in which community?), important to be "done"? If they use it, it means even in an unfinished state it's fine to use already. You can almost always work more on something, add more stuff, but at one point it always stops, so why does it matter if it's earlier or later?
And the second thing is a tautology... "Why is it bad? Because I don't like it", yes, I got that already, but why don't you like it :D
