Main things:
1. Spend less time on the internet - I spend 2 days of the week without internet access so I can finish my projects in peace
2. Use as little technology as possible to finish them. I find having a limited tool-set actually lets me think about the creative part instead of working with too many tools and being distracted learning more tools.
3. Don't become attached to projects. If it doesn't feel natural, discard it and work on a new one. I regularly finish projects, but I also have a large pile of discarded ones.
1. This also helps ppl better understand the crave for chat/social and generally getting high on internet info. now with local models being like pocket archives of most all that you can think of, it is also possible to do very accelerated coding with zero net connectivity.
2. prototyping is often about allowing oneself to stitch things in the ugliest possible way.
