    I have an idea for a system that will prevent me from doing this all the time. It involves making a program. I don’t know how to code yet, but I am going to teach myself.

  It’s actually a researched phenomenon. Basically, by telling people about your goals, you get a similar dopamine hit to actually completing the goal, which reduces the drive to complete it.

  This is why I don’t usually tell anyone. Although last time I worked on a project I told a bunch of people hoping it would incentivise me to finish. Did it work? Oh my no.

  That’s why I don’t tell anyone, my hoard of unfinished projects is just mine to look at

  Where is the part that I find out that I don’t have the skills and it would take me years to learn to do what I want to do?

  I still tell people about my projects, but at this point I just also tell them straight-up that I’ll never finish it.
