I've realised why I don't do anything, ever

I have a problem in that I can never concentrate on something for long, nothing gets finished because I start something else first. I thought about it and I think I know why... I'm too creative.
It sounds daft, but it isn't really. Because I'm interested in so many creative things, I keep wanting to try something else, but the result is nothing gets finished or I never become really really good at one thing.
For example, today I'm thinking about remixing music using Reason and I want to get better at 3D animation using Max. I also have an interest in oil painting. That's 3 things that I want to do, and I want to do each one more than the others - depending on which one I'm doing at the time! The result is so far today I've done nothing, and it will be like that until I go to bed and think 'oh well, another day of doing nothing'.
The list of things I would like to do include:
Programming
Designing
Oil painting
Watercolor painting
3D
Music making
Video editing
etc.
etc.
It gets worse... When I'm programming (or anything else), I find it difficult to finish something because I'm always thinking of the next thing which I feel is a bigger and better idea so I start that. I like to innovate, come up with new ideas and improve existing ones, and that also causes me problems because nothing gets completed.
I feel like I'm full of creativity and innovation, yet because of that none of it can really get out and be expressed. I just wish I could focus myself and become really good at just one or two things.
