So, how many of you ever actually finish any of the coding projects you've started?
As for me, I usually finish my smaller projects because they either manage to do what I needed them to, or because I can't be fucked to finish the rest of the functionality I wanted or planned.
I always abandon my larger projects because I get bored and then want to do something else that's new and shiny.

Bumpity-boo.
See there's your problem. Its not a project if you don't have it planned all the way through.
Set goals and don't move the goal posts.
Then if you need it to do something else you start a new project bases of the old one.
I finish most things I start but admittedly a few things are rolling works, anything network based, or god help us mobile needs to be reworked more often than I like.
The things I never finish are projects where the employer shit the bed and cuts or haggles funding.

Yes, a lack of planning is my problem. I suffer from ADD and my thinking all day everyday is just a scattered mess.
And it carries into my coding, because I don't have the patience to actually realize WHAT I want my project to do. I only have a vague idea, and immediately jump in, and requirements change as I go along.
The funny thing is that earlier in my life, I didn't have this problem, as I worked on some pretty large projects in an organized manner back in the day.
Personal problems have turned me into an emotional, medicating, short sighted wreck these days though.

Oh don't pity your self faggot. Man the fuck up.
ADD is a pretty good excite to score Adderal and Rhitnol. But after college you're expected to have your shit together.

Wasn't trying to go for a pity-party, just stating the facts. And it's something I have been putting a lot of work into, and it has been getting better.
The reason I brought it out is to see if anyone can relate to what my coding process normally is.

You need to document larger projects. Requirements, use cases, etc. this way you'll have an actually have target for your v1.0 release and have better motivation.
I never abandon projects, I just multitask.
