I do this sort of thing, too ... Basically a proof of concept or an 
experiment. What is different is a lot of time I'll start something, get 
going while it's fresh and novel to me (and thus stimulating ...) and 
once the novelty of what I was doing wears off (it can be minutes, hours 
or days) I drop it and find something else stimulating.

Gaming is a funny thing, an example of this was with Portal. I started 
playing it, it was fun, interesting and different. I got to GladDOS and 
and started to lose interest after a few attempts at getting the second 
sphere. I then picked it up again when I saw something related to the 
end song of the game. It was novel again.

I also tend to miss a lot of details, and have great difficulty with 
reading.
