How do you stay focused for long term projects? (self.programming)

So, I have 2 months before I go to finish my last year in CS. Every time I sit down to start a project, I will work on it for a few days, and immediately stop working on it.

How do you stay focused for these long projects? Or what are some techniques that you follow to keep at it for longer stretches?

I just enjoy coding. Some bits can be tedious, but for the most part I'm having fun when I'm coding, so it's not hard to stay focused. For the tedious bits I try to arrange my workday to avoid distractions so I can get started (that's the hardest part) and get into a 'flow' state where I won't notice that the work isn't all that interesting.
