    I’m struggling with this now. I have a project at work and I am stumbling on it hard. I’ve done well with smaller projects and help desk, but I just can’t seem to stay focused on this larger project. I’m afraid of what the consequences will be

      Oof, I know that feeling! I find that my brain doesn’t want to start a task that I know I can’t finish in the same day. Makes tackling a large project like that incredibly daunting.

      I’ve found the best way to overcome that feeling is to break the project into daily tasks. In a sense, turning the large project into many smaller projects helps trick the brain into getting the dopamine. Small wins help!

        Yeah, I ended up moving on to another task in the project, which I think will actually make finishing the one I was stuck on easier. I’m still stressed but less than I was. The momentum is nice, just have to keep it up. I’m looking forward to when i finish this and move on to help desk :P
