I've only worked on a handful of things over the last few years, trying different things/styles/tools to learn. Each project seems to take me quite a while to finish since I go slow at it since it seems like I don't really know what I'm doing for each different project. I'll come up with the plan, sketch it out, start chipping away, make progress, take a look at it and decide to go deeper here, change that over there, etc. Then it gets to the point of trying to detail it, sand it and finish it and hopefully make it pop. But nearing the end of all that I seem to get a sense of 'uh, I'm done with this thing and just want to be done'.

So, does anyone else run into project fatigue? What do you do? Work on different things at the same time? Just plow through and get it finished? I suspect that if I worked on more projects, became more familiar with the process and was able to do them quicker and not spend sooo many hours on one thing that it wouldn't be the same issue. Not that it is a big deal, just curious if anyone else has similar thoughts.
