This is one of the reasons we put together "Finish Up Weekend" - http://fuweekend.com/
It's a hackathon weekend when you're not allowed to start anything new. You are only allowed to bring things to finish. It's not strictly coding, we've had lawyers, screenwriters, artists, authors, and sewing projects completed. The positive peer pressure is great.
When you finish something, you get to ring a bell so we can celebrate briefly.. and then get back to work.
And there are no prizes, just the satisfaction of getting things done.
Another vote for NYC. I've got 10 ideas that I just can't finish. Would love to spend a weekend on 1 of them, just for the sake of learning how to finish.
