Any tips on staying for consistent with your project in your free time? I'm torn between pushing to finish my projects vs just accepting that I'm very interested in something else right now and accepting that and allowing myself to enjoy the new thing.

Yeah, I had a similar issue with motivation to build this when I had other ideas throughout building the software. This may seem strange but the way I dealt with it is basically by buying the domain so in my head I would just think that I’ve wasted the 20 or so pounds(the currency) on buying that which would almost deter me from going to a different project. Maybe just put up like a small financial incentive to get it running like the fact that if I didn’t launch it would be a waste of 20 or so pounds. Hope this helps. By financial incentive I didn’t mean like making money, even though that’s the goal for a business, I meant more losing money to costs to set it up.
