The ninety-ninety rule is all too real in the field of music as well.
Conquering yourself is a huge part of the process of becoming a great musician. I can definitely subscribe to your suggestions. There is immense power in having solid routines, although it may take a little while and some effort to build them up.
I've sometimes run into similar problems as you. Additionally, I sometimes just end up listening over and over again to what I've already done instead of getting on with the work.
One tip that often works for me is to just stop and take a short break when the urge to juggle projects hits me and I need to finish something as soon as possible. Getting off the computer for ten minutes or so can be effective for restarting a lost focus.
As to commitment phobia, I have a sort of mantra: You can always make more. Can't remember where I got it from, but I find it hard not to agree to it. Your ability to judge at any given time just is what it is, and everything you make is just a product of your life so far. Not that I'd think wrapping up stuff is any less hard than you do, though.
