I have the exact same struggle. I have boxes of unfinished art, folders of unfinished writing, and repos of unfinished programming projects.
I read a great quote from Steve Jobs years ago and it has definitely impacted the way I work now:
We tend to focus much more. People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of many of the things we haven't done as the things we have done.
Right now I have one project. It's hard to just have one because I'm constantly bombarded with new ideas I want to pursue. But it's the only way I actually have the chance of finishing something.
