How do I trick my brain into completing a project? I'm making an app that shows which voice actor plays a character in the movie and what other movies they act in. It's useful for me personally but I feel like I'm making something that's been done numerous times over and I lost the momentum because I'm on vacation with my family now. I ran into some problems with the project too and getting help takes a ton of time so it's disrupting the rythm too. I really have to put at least 2-3 projects like this for a portfolio;_;

Does the "not-ending" apply to really small things though? I think mine can have an end, it's more of a demonstration than a serious thing.

Am a software developer, and in my experience we always find things that could be done different, spend hours tracking down the source of some fringe bug, or think of new features a product could benefit from, especially if we enjoy working on it.

Things might be considered done, but i never was in a situation where one could not think of more things that could be done.
