This happens to me more often than not. It took me 2 unfinished attempts while I was learning to finally get one project up and running. Took me a really long time, too (like 4 months and 3 months) But I decided to keep them either as reference / practice or as a reminder of how NOT to do things. I ended up with a sweet app to show around in my portfolio.
After that I realized that it is much better to keep the code, the only mistake I was making is setting goals too high and far for my current skillset and time.
I think the only thing you really need is planning. Nowadays, what I do is divide a project into multiple milestones, and then push as hard as I can to reach one of them before stopping. Afterwards, I can either move on to the next milestone or stop and continue with it some other time. Either way, I finished something I proposed myself, so inspiration & morale remains high, and I can use those breaks to learn the things I might need for the next goal.
