I really appreciate you effort in pointing out the correct way to do things.

And to be frank, I too don't have much practical knowledge about it. If you don't mind can you point me in the right direction?

Same thing with me, however I am forcing myself to complete pending projects in this Covid lockdown.

Trust me it is always difficult to restart work on pending projects, once you give it two minutes you'll get glued to it.

Just force yourself to get started.
