Yup, I've had all the same issues. It's though. I've always found procrastination is pretty hard to overcome. The one thing I always try to do for any side project is make a list of everything I need to build for the MVP (minimum viable product). And when I say MVP, really try to cut anything you don't absolutely need to get the project out in the wild. I've found that makes it a lot more likely to get finished.

@shekyb true. like the appeal of the main challenge is overcome, and a lot of the menial tasks can be done by a lower level programmer.

@techgesture i ama freelancer and i am talking here about the personal pet projects, so no juniors :)
Do you ever procrastinate getting into a project, at any phase, starting, mid code updates, etc,,, knowing it is not only going to take you time to get your head back into it, but you also know that once you do, and hopefully yes you get into a groove, that it requires a mental time commitment... that last word, commitment, I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to get into, commit to just yet, so, I start procrastinating by doing a whole list of small stuff I need to finish first, because god knows when I get into this thing, I won't be able to jump out and do anything else easily... and then let's say all that goes well,,, small stuff done, I've procrastinated long enough, now I'm ready to drive in, OK, here we go, 5 minutes of reacclimating myself, and someone walks in, wants my attention, which I can't give them, I've already started down this slippery slope... and somehow I come off rude if I don't acknowledge them....aaaggghhh...!
