Oh my goodness, you all. I deliberated on posting, but this community never disappoints. Thank you for seeing me - I'm truly bowled over in my seat here! And also, there's some really sage advice in here!
@KHall - I am SO sorry to hear your mom has been given a terminal diagnosis. That is how things took shape with my mom, who was battling ovarian cancer and in remission for a year, until she wasn't (last June); I'm so extraordinarily privileged that I was able to not only take that entire period of time away from work, but to be able to care for her in those final months; wishing you peace and time with your Mom, and keeping you and your family in my thoughts as well.
Next, truly, I was so bowled over when I read that there's a group buzzing at Quickbase about how to support me -- truly, incredible! I'm not much of a crier, but that moved me to tears. This group is nothing short of exceptional and amazing!
Last, to everyone who chimed in with thoughts - THANK YOU! I can't wait to dive in first and foremost to the "Inheriting an App" webinar -- I do think that will really help me get unstuck. It's been a daunting task even before all of this, but since, it's just been impossible. I think also reframing Quickbase work into "types" is such a poignant observation. We probably all love to build, and few of us love trying to figure out what someone else's brain was building! And lastly taking customer feedback and bite-sized portions. Since taking on this project, I've gotten some of that feedback and I feel energized/ready to go after those, with the caveat that it's always been at the end of the day and by the following day, I'm right back to this square one. Perhaps intentionally building some of those feedback sessions on the opening of when I have a window of time to work would be a powerful way to capitalize on that momentum and not lose sight of what ideas came to me as they give feedback.
Truly, thank you all - I wasn't sure if there was anything that could help me get "unstuck", but I knew if I was going to try, this group would know best how to get me there. And truly, that is always the case. Love Quickbase and this community so much!
