one of the most boring lessons l've learned is that when a task feels overwhelming, you just have to start doing it. even if you're not sure how to do 90% of it, look for one small component that seems close and start there. sometimes it's reading one article on the topic, or searching one related term, or literally just googling how to do the task. do anything other than thinking about it. the process of working on a thing inherently makes it less scary.
