Working on a
physics related problem will keep me interested and motivated to keep
going, but I will be thinking of implementing constructs in a general way
to be used in other problems.

Actually that's one of the best ways to produce something generally useful.

Working just on one concrete problem tends to produce code that takes shortcuts that make it non-reusable across application domains. Working on a general framework without actually using it tends to produce code that's clean and reusable but is awkward to use.

That approach you're taking is one of the better ways to navigate between the Scylla of overspecifity and the Charybdis of overgenerality.
+1!
