There’s the “pivot or persevere” concept from the “Lean Startup” book. Basically, if you’re stalled out, you step back, ask why, craft alternatives, compare their relative qualities, and decide which you’ll go pursue in the next time window. So basically just every now and then have a self convo of “how’s this actually going”, and set a deadline for when you’ll decide to persevere or pivot. It’s worked for me loads of times, the important thing is that it both encourages and validates project momentum, which is probably the most important thing of all.
