I find that some are better at starting and some are better at finishing. I have trouble getting started but then feel almost driven to finish a project. Last December I took up the challenge to do a month long study of the color blue. For me, having a start and finish date, as well as a finite yet infinite challenge set me on a path of finding it easier to keep going, playing with color, texture,light,shadow. I bought a small packet of lovely raw edge papers. If I like my piece ,I put it in my journal. If not, I put it in the pile to be reviewed or altered or discarded later.
