So, I love "new things." (Doesn't everyone?) According to Copilot, here's why it happens (in normal, non-medical terms):
- New ideas feel rewarding and energizing.
- Finishing requires sustained, sometimes boring effort.
- Perfectionism can make the “finish line” feel intimidating.
- Creative minds often generate ideas faster than they can execute them.
I feel that "perfectionism" bit, and another "term" Copilot offered was "Analysis paralysis" - getting stuck in the thinking stage instead of the doing stage - which I think is another thing I suffer from (I find it hard to make decisions sometimes - ok, most of the time). It also suggested "Project hopping" - moving from one idea to another without closing the loop - which seems accurate, too.
