Losing motivation at 90%

#1
As a programmer, I tend to come up with a lot of ideas and get proof of concept "releases" up and running as quickly as possible. That said, it's easy to do 90% of the work and to give up when all that is left is mere problem solving. I don't like giving up on projects, so it's always a tough decision for me. I do tend to stay busy with something, and a lesson can always be learned, but still, it's not something I like doing. 

Of course, many people in my observations seem to be just the opposite and gain motivation during their "home stretch." Do you often find yourself losing motivation near the end of a project due to the "problem solving" stage, or do you find yourself gaining motivation as you see completion of an idea or project nearing? Be sure to vote in the poll!
