FWIW I've found that there is a cross section between excitement of a new project and the momentum of that project.
Most projects fizz out when the excitement wears off before the amount of work you've already done on it has enough momentum to push you to do one more task.
When I push though that motivational hurdle, I find the amount of work already done incentives to continue on with it. The next task is obvious and relatively easy, because there is something to work with.
Now, losing confidence that everything you've written is garbage and refactoring the same systems over and over again until you give up- that's the hurdle I choke on :D
