Una amiga de Venezuela me dice este refrán:
El mono no mira su rabo por mirar el ajeno
¿Como se entiende?
In English, context is a person who has many interests but does not follow through.

Literally, more or less, this means "The monkey is not minding his own tail since his eyes are set on another's."
For your situation, I expect this means that the person can never finish what he started since his eyes are always on the next interest.
I can image this phrase could be used in other contexts as well, such as a politicians not paying attention to the interests of their constituents because they are more focused on other issues.
