You get excited about a new project, get caught up in the whirlwind of fresh ideas, and pieces start falling magically into place as you hit that "zone" and watch the project become reality. Then WHOOSH! A brand new idea wisps through your mind when you least expect it, and you're instantly swept away from the project that was once full of energy, motivation, and dreams. A nagging guilt pulls at you for leaving that former project hanging, but you push it aside in favor of the freshness of something new.
