Some thoughts - we are in a pandemic, everyone and their friend are stressed and disengaged. Don’t be hard on yourself

- Chip away at your problem or task slowly. Celebrate tiny wins, I just got that tiny function to work, YaY

- A grand project takes time. One often underestimates the time needed to do a task. Break it into really tiny bite sized items.

- consider a different measure of success. Take time to understand deeply the root cause of all failures. Write about it in a daily journal.

- Creativity takes time and effort. Roadblocks are common, Enjoy the process.
