If I were to finish everything I start I'd know 1/100th of what I do. Most of the times I stop just when I realize that I have enought knowledge to be able to do it "if I just want to". And I move on. Once in a while a finish stuff just because I kind of fall in love with it or just because it's the right thing at the right time.

Different topic is projects I do for work, or for career. In that case, you must be finishing and in my experience nothing works better than a family to go back to in the evening. I used to procrastinate during the day and I'd have to stay at work till late to finish stuff. I don't do that anymore because I realized my wife deserved much better than that. It helped me a lot finding concentration.
