Every time I think of an idea for writing greentext, I research it for 30 mins-4 hours and then lose interest. Even though I don't want to.

How can I stop this?

Don't research. Just write.

You have a flawed assumption. You think inspiration is permanent. It isn't, it gets you started then you forcibly slog your way through the rest, that's called dedication.

“Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.” ― Thomas A. Edison

“There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.” ― Beverly Sills

write and then research later. you will have invested too much into it to throw it away, but your pride will prevent you from publishing it before posting it.

Tenacity, it's mental will rather than emotional desire. Once you put in the tedious mental will and effort, you might then get a new boost of emotional inspiration because of your success (pride). Then you keep going tenaciously until it is done. You get the full emotional fulfilment reward after the hard work is done, not during.
