Unorthodox post - when your brain just won't "Quickbase"
Hey all! This is going to be a vulnerable post and I deliberated whether I'd post, but this has always been an incredibly supportive community. I am going through a challenging time in life having lost my mom a couple of months ago, and one of the most surprising ways this has affected me is -- my brain is just "off" for Quickbase. I'd been asked to head up a project cleaning up a former app developer's less-than-ideal-state work, which is something I very much would like to do; but I'm literally logging in daily and looking at my screen, with Quickbase being a small percentage of what I'm generally responsible for day-over-day, and I am just unable to get started. Has anyone experienced this? Any tips for snapping yourself back into shape? As a musician outside of work as well, I realize Quickbase is very much also a creative space, and when I think about whether you could just command yourself to write a song on demand, it feels like a similar mental lock-out where you don't have a lot of control over when your creative energy is going to come back. Would love any feedback and apologies for the sort of odd post. I've been sitting with this project for about 6 weeks now and it's going exactly no where. I either need to take a full pause from the project, or figure out how to get my head in this game.
