I totally understand worrying about finishing - as a person who basically only had unfinished WIPs sitting on my ff.net account for almost a decade, it's a thing that can happen.
However, I've learned a few tips and tricks I can share:
1) Find a cheerleader - a good beta who will push you and be supportive with their feedback, encouraging you to keep going!
2) Find a writing software or app that minimizes distractions. I use Writer: The Internet Typewriter (https://writer.bighugelabs.com) and I absolutely adore it - the typewriter clicky noises entertain and focus me and I can fullscreen it to avoid distractions plus there's no ads and no real formatting options (which means I'm pretty much just pounding out text and worrying about the formatting later).
3) (And this one is going to be hugely controversial probably and I know doesn't work for everyone) If you've got writer's block or aren't feeling it, embrace the distraction impulse but write something else for a while. Just don't get bogged down in it. For example, if I'm writing something super-angsty and epic and it gets to me, I come here and pull up a short, fluffy prompt I know I can write a good one-off or short fic for and write that. It gives me a confidence boost, reminds me of other aspects of the show I love, and takes me out of my own head related to the story I'm writing long enough to clear what's blocking me. Then, I come back to the original story feeling better about it. Again, not for everyone, but it works for me and it's not advice you hear as often from people.
Take it with a grain of salt but I hope that advice helps!
