If only it were possible to stay enthusiastic indefinitely! Maybe designers should just buy lots of corny motivational posters with the word "ENTHUSIASM" underneath a photo of a guy climbing a mountain.

Excellent post. Personally, I manage to stay in "enthusiast" mode for quite a long time before the next steps by simply reminding myself of some memorable quotes that I've come across. One of the most memorable ones is a Steve Jobs quote that I love:
"Almost everything: all external expectations, all pride all fear of embarrassment or failure. These tings just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose."
