I’ve wondered if stuckness sometimes just means you need a break, like you’ve worn your brain to fatigue? I work pro bono doing game dev and after 3 months i just couldn’t do any work at all. About a month later I came back and could do it again. If I kept trying to work before I stopped it just felt like unbearable mental stress. Since coming back a month later it is only mild stress. How could people just work nonstop all year? I don’t understand it.
Surely it’s just like a similar process to lactic acid buildup but in the regions of the brain you’re most heavily using, right?
- jansan 3y agoI think if the challenges are just at the right level and the work is interesting to you, you can work almost as long as you want. But if the difficulty level is too high and you feel no sxcitement, it becomes stressful and and eventually you reach a point when you cannot go on. I had this with a project that was difficult and that I found not interesting at the same time. I could not go on. I would rather browse amazon or clean the livingroom all day than stting down to work on the project. I felt really miserable for this.
- Madmallard 3y agoWell in my case the work isn’t too hard and I find it interesting. So your description does not seem to apply.
