I have the same problem. It sometimes feels like I have a million interests. I'd be okay with that, but I too often start projects I never finish.

For hobby and reading projects, I pay close attention to whether or not I am enjoying the task/process. I've come to realize that while I may like the idea of basket weaving, for example, I actually hate the process and don't have enough patience for it. Before I start something, I try to think about whether or not I will actually like it.

For other projects, I really need to find a solution. I am very bad about starting household construction projects, getting overwhelmed, and not finishing them. I do the same thing with business projects -- I get it 95% done and then abandon it.

One other thing that helps me is to think of things in terms of 'What is the next thing that needs to be done on this project? How can I set that up so it is easy for me to do it?' I try to keep those to tasks that can be done in 30 minutes.

Auntie2014, I am curious - how much time do you devote to your pick up project of the day? I really like your schedule idea but worry I would wander off after an hour
