I'm also a solo founder/business owner. I get myself bogged down in projects, sometimes to the point that I can't pick out anything to focus on. This is definitely where having a partner/co-founder would come in handy.

The way that I've dealt with it so far is I'll grab one of my friends, technical or not (technical would be preferred) and I'll just start dumping. I'll go through all the things I've identified as hurdles and why I'm struggling with them. More often than not my friends don't have to say anything! Just talking to them helps me find something I had missed. They often have nothing to add but just speaking the challenges helped me find solutions. Someone mentioned talking to a rubber ducky in another comment and I suppose this has a similar effect.

Also, as mentioned many times, take a break. Go for a hike or go see a movie. Do something else. Give your brain a break.

You can also try getting out good ole pencil and paper and writing things down. Start a list of the smallest possible thing you can deliver and deliver it.

It's all doable given enough time so give yourself time.

very good points. Learning by teaching is one of the best ways to learn about something you yourself are struggling with. I think the reason for this is because you are forced to fill in the gaps to help your audience understand, while in your head gaps in understanding are justified. Also, fantastic point about taking out the paper pad. I have 4 tablets and 3 computers and I still write all my diagrams on green paper.
