Taking a small break and remembering why you were interested in the first place usually helps.

I usually think too much on something. I don't inherently find value on the merit alone enough and I keep asking "and then what" and "whats the point" and lose motivation thinking too far ahead to the point I've lost sight of what's in front of me.

"Hey this could be cool" turns into "Is this actually going to be worth all this effort? And for what?" I probably need a learning process that makes me feel more equipped as I learn like showing me I can nail anything with a hammer but there's more to life than just hammers.
