How do you guys get unstuck on a big project?

Like writing a novel or finding a job? I always seem to get this feeling of being bogged down or unable to work on things more, because I haven’t worked on them enough yet.

Boy, was my mind in the gutter on this one.

@chyna lol my ability to answer this question has been severely hindered by my dirty mind…

bite down on something hard, twist, yank firmly and quickly…find an ice pack and learn your lesson

but in a serious attempt, I’m a musician, and often times it’s very difficult pumping out enough new songs for an album, when ever I’m stumped, I get the hell away from music for a while, do something I’ve never done before, take a few risks I normally wouldn’t, live life, in essence. That’s where I’ve always found inspiration, if you can even call it that, it’s more like incoherent and pathetic attempts to organize my thoughts.

Finding a job? I know a lot about that too, I’ve always been the kind of person that just needs to work a lot, whether it be occupying myself with school, jobs, or what have you, if I’m not busy I tend to get into some less than moral situations. So I’ve always worked 40+ hour a week jobs ever since my freshman year of highschool, and the best advice I can give is, when you think you’ve done all you can to find a new job, double it. if you’ve searched your whole town for employment, go to the next town and do the same, jobs are always there, you just need to be willing to do what it takes to find them.

I just put it aside until I get my motivation back. This doesn’t work well, because I have a lot of storage space, and over the years, it has gotten filled up with unfinished projects.
