I've decided to launch a project I've been working on [1] for some time publicly even though it is nowhere near complete; It is not complete by even MVP standards.

Early in my life, I noticed I may have a problem with long-term focus and self-motivation. You see, I seem to develop interests in... err... stuff - quickly; pour all my attention into them, then abruptly find them uninteresting. I will not bore you with too many details, but it suffices to say that this extended into building personal projects.

I did not like this. I did not like starting projects and not completing them, I did not like trying to do too many things without really getting deep into any of them. And worse, this was messing with my confidence. I doubted my ability to work on serious projects for clients or companies.

Anyway, I did work on client projects, and for companies. This is how I noticed that I don't seem to have this issue when there is any external pressure and responsibility. I have worked on projects spanning years, and just the fact that I have someone else to talk about technical problems with - that and clear deliverables - always makes the difference.
