Collecting Your Thoughts When Stuck On A Project

It can become easy to get “stuck” when you are working on a project, regardless of whether your project is for work or just for fun. And many people end up getting more and more frustrated when they get stuck, as they push so hard that they are unable to get unstuck. Rather than “pushing” – regardless of whether the project you are stuck on is a work project, a creative project, or just something for fun – you will be better off easing yourself out of the rut. Oftentimes, the best way to ease out of the rut is to take some time to collect your thoughts.

Different methods of “thought collection” work well for different people, so it will be important that you find the method that works best for you. For instance, some people find that brainstorming with others – especially if you are on a project team – helps to get them out of the rut. If you find that brainstorming is a good approach for you, check with your project team to make sure it is also a good approach for them. If it is, you will be able to push out of a rut with the help of the rest of your project team, and you will be able to help them when they end up in a rut as well.

Other people find that the best way for them to collect their thoughts is simply for them to go for a walk. These people find that they can sort through their ideas and organize their thoughts when they are able to get outside for a bit or simply get away from their desk. By the time they return to their desk, they are ready to attack the project again with a whole new perspective.

And one of the was that seems to work best of all for getting out of a rut – as strange as it might seem – is to just not think of the problem at all. Many people find that as soon as they force themselves to move onto other things and stop thinking about the problem altogether, a breakthrough happens upon them.

There is certainly nothing wrong with getting stuck on a project, as it tends to happen to everyone; the big difference is whether you stay stuck, or whether you find the best way that works for you to get yourself unstuck!
