You're not alone in this regard. I see tons of people on Twitter saying I've done x, now, I'm doing, y, now I'm onto z. All within hours. People think they can multi-task by completing so many tasks quickly without giving full attention to a particular task.

At least you recognized that is better to prioritize. One thing that helps me is to mark things in the calendar. Also for big side projects is better to break down into smaller achievable chunks. i.e. I will make a social app. vs Step 1 login, Step 2 Posts, Step 3 Feed, etc.

Thanks, Yeah, I realized I'd never finished anything if I continued trying to do everything at the same time.

I started braking the big side projects down into smaller achievable chunks.

Will try to mark things in the calendar too.
