Hello fellow steemains, hope the 14 days we have seen in this new year has been an amazing one?

Today, i was thinking of what to write and a question just flashed on my mind.

The question was how about sharing with your fellow steemians what you do when you are stuck at some point with a task? After this question flashed, i decided to come up with a short write up to inspire those here who has been in that shoe.

Please, read through. You can also share what you do when you do when you are stuck with a task on the comment section.

INTRODUCTION

Have you ever been in a situation where you got stuck or confused at some point and don't know what to do?
If yes, what did you do? Did you give
consider yourself as not being able to perform that task, did you think like people with fixed mindset or growth mindset?

Most often i have been in this situation and have found out that the best way to solve it is not getting angry with yourself or vice versa.

Many persons struggle with this situation too but i'm going the steps i use to get unstuck so that every other person can follow these steps.

STEP 1: ASK GOOGLE

Google is one of our friends. Google never gets tired of answering our questions. This is usually some people's first "to-go" place whenever they get stuck with any task.

I literally ask google for help to get unstuck because there may be people who has done the same task i'm trying to do and has put it on the net for the world to see.

The next time you get stuck with a task, neither panic nor give up, turn on your internet, get on your preferred browser and ask google.

Step 2: Ask a friend

Today, i was drafting a social media content calendar for an NGO i volunteered to mange their Social media handles.

At a point, i got confused about what content should be seen on their pages. This is a task i started lately.

What i did was to jump on a call with a friend who has been with them for a long time.

He explained at length the mission of the NGO and what they want to achieve from their social media handles. After this call with him, i was unstuck and ideas continued to flow.

Step 3: Take a break

You may be stuck with a task because you are exhausted or Law of diminishing return has set in and the brain needs rest!

During the break period you can see a movie, gist with friends, prepare a nice meal, take a walk or do whatsoever thing that makes you feel happy and relaxed.

If the brain is not relaxed, it can never function well and we will remain unproductive in whatever task we are executing.

Taking a break is important for us to refresh the brain.
I usually take a 30 mins break after which i feel fresh and go back to the task again.

CONCLUSION

I have come to understand that being stuck at a point in any task we do is not bad. The most important thing is your ability to know that getting stuck does not mean that you can notdo it, rather you have to either seek help or take a break to get unstuck and continue with the task.
Fellow steemians, whenever you are stuck with any task you need to execute on steemit, don't give up instead, ask google, call a friend or take a break.
