Is your goal to have fun building it? Or is your goal to ship it?

I know plenty of projects that will never ship because the author can think of new things faster than he can code. Coding is fun. Shipping, selling and supporting is work. Hence the (subconscious?) goal of never actually shipping.

Which is perfectly OK. But being self-aware enough to know this is happening is both useful and liberating.

Alternatively if your goal is to ship, then ship it already...
