In my case, I try to keep realistic dates of completion (considering that I'm no longer an undergraduate and right now I can focus in any topic I want.)
Sometimes it's difficult to get things done if you don't have someone behind telling you what to do next; but I realized, that if you master this skill, you are at a whole new level. I think this is the type of motivation that keeps moving the PhD students or the entrepreneurs.
At the moment I'm learning how to program for the Android platform, and this mobile paradigm has open my mind for a lot of things. I really want to pursue more this area.
I think it's a great idea that if you don't understand something in a book, tutorial, etc. investigate about those topics. But, never lose focus in what you are trying to accomplish in the first time; I know that sometimes it's tempting to keep checking that Math theory and things like that.
At the end, knowledge is another tool to get the job done.
