I treat personal projects like therapy. Doing something for me, trying something new makes me feel good. Even if I just have a working prototype I have the sense that I've accomplished something. It doesn't matter much if nobody sees it. If that were the case, those personal projects would turn to work and I have enough of that already.

That being said, I do finish side projects from time to time, mostly because I can still see the potential after working on it for a couple of ours.
