If you're stuck, try one of these:
Stop. Give up for now.
Slow down. Try again tomorrow.
Pivot. Move to another project.
Shift. Walk, workout, or hydrate.
Release. Laugh it off, cry, or map it out.
Distance. Read a book, watch a movie, or wait three days.
Do anything to break the hyper-fixated rumination that suffocates your drive and sacrifices your quality. While it’s vital to finish the idea, you must avoid the trap of letting the idea finish you.
If you’re stuck, move away immediately.
Yes, I know it’s hard af and the normal thing to do is to remain stuck. And you’re not normal.
