One thing I can share about losing interesting in projects after 3+ months is that I felt and to some extent still feel the same way. It was with BetaList that I decided to push through the less exciting parts and now I've been running it for 10+ years! So it's certainly possible.
I've also learned what keeps me motivated to keep doing. They are customer feedback (people are using the product and have an easy way to reach me), and revenue.
So to me a new project feels like a race where I try to get consistent user feedback and/or revenue, before the novelty of the new project wears off.
Thanks for the advice Marc. User feedback and revenue are great motivators and I have to focus more on that. I end up tweaking things way too much and need to stop this :)
Some great goals here!
