You’ve found the basic test for personal projects: “Does it excite me enough to work on it when I’m tired?”
If not, does it excite the people who use it?
My personal philosophy has been to move on or put it on pause if:
1) I’m not excited about it
and
2) Others (who need my help to build it) are not excited about it
After a few days/weeks/months, you may miss it and become excited again!
Sometimes the best project is “no project.”

That's a really good perspective to have!
