I have the same problem. When I first think of something I want to make I get really excited and I start coding and writing down ideas. After a few days or weeks I usually end up in the situations where I get home from work and the project doesn't seem exciting anymore.

To combat this I've been trying to fully plan projects while I'm excited. That way I have a nice list of individual tasks I need to complete and I know how each of those tasks is connected to the overall goal. When I get home from work and only have an hour or two free I can finish one of the small tasks. I end up feeling productive and like I've made progress.
