Do you want to actually accomplish something or do you want to feel like you’re actually accomplishing something?
It’s more fun to start things than stick with them. When you’re new to something you make bigger jumps in improvement with less effort. But going from intermediate to expert takes much more work for far smaller return.
If you’d rather feel like you’re making progress, keep doing new things and get OK at them. If you want to actually make progress, pick something and actually stick with it, especially when it feels hard and pointless.
