Nicolas Cole says shiny object syndrome kills your work. When you hit a plateau, the urge to chase something new stops you from deepening what you've already started. Stay with it instead and you'll find ways to make it better.
Whenever you're doing something, you will inevitably reach a point where you don't know how to do that thing better.

And what happens is whenever you jump to something new, you actually deprive yourself of the opportunity to figure out how to do the original thing that was already working better.
