I had this problem and they way I tackled it was I don't allow myself to talk about anything I'm working on, not to anyone at all. Only what I've done. If I'm exited about an idea I really want to share it, but once i have a "wouldn't it be cool if" conversation the motivation burns off. Now just built a minimal version to show someone. And then I'm not like "in the full version we could do feature X", I just keep my mouth shut and it makes me really want to add feature X. I dunno, it works for me.

Cool for motivation but it's also really nice to have conversations about features before implementing them so you can flesh out the idea and bounce it off someone else.
