Shiny object syndrome - how do you deal with it?

I keep chasing new ideas and novelty instead of working on my current ideas and actually building something. Every week, what felt exciting before suddenly feels boring.

It feels like I am chasing the dopamine rush of new ideas, and that feeling is stronger than the need to finish or build.. When I don’t get new ideas, I feel very anxious and restless.

This feels common in SaaS, startups, or really any creative work.

How do you deal with this?

How do you stay focused and actually finish things?
