It's always attractive to create new problems in the face of resolving existing ones. This applies to everything in life.
From what I'm hearing, you're doing the easy familiar shiny new parts then distracting yourself with a replacement doing more of that part when the shine dulls and Real Work begins.
It's like you're breaking up with you girl/boy friend after the honeymoon phase is over, so you can go experience that part again, instead of actually doing the work of a long-term relationship.
This isn't to say it always makes sense to finish whatever you started. Knowing when to cut your losses is an important life skill to develop. But starting projects that are within scope for you to finish in the first place is also an important skill, unless it was just an academic exercise you deliberately started to never intending to finish.
My only advice here is to try improve self-discipline and actually introspect enough on these matters to make starting/cutting losses/finishing conscious choices made after weighing the costs vs. benefits etc. Maybe look into existing guides/literature for improving self-discipline, overcoming adversity, "sticking it through" etc.
