Question by Grish · Jul 21, 2017 at 10:25 AM · game development

Anxiety and procrastination - how do you deal with it?

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I have come to a point where I'm quite far through a project (3+ years working on it) and after a long break can't seem to get back into it.

I think about all the bits I want to implement during the day and have a plan, but then when I sit down to code, I remember that I wrote some advancecd bits of code that I now need to relearn. I get anxious and start to procrastinate. It doesn't help that I reddit a bit and unity3d sub has some amazing bits of work and I almost get a sense of depression that I haven't made any progress for a while.

Does anyone else feel this way sometimes? How do you all handle this?

Cheers,

G

You could try to inspire yourself by watching movies reading books, or even doing a google image search for the theme your game has. As for program$$anonymous$$g itself, I often make a list with things that need work and then I focus on one of them and cross it out when itS done, it gives a nice sense of progression :)

It is reassuring to know it is a very common experience, it's just about not giving up, really.
