Perhaps take a break from everything you where doing for this project and spend some of that time looking for other people who are or could be as excited as you are about it.

They could be your first users, first collaborators, first customers, or first haters. Then maybe you won't feel all that weight of uncertainty upon you and you may have gathered enough energy and motivation to keep going.

Or it may prove worthless for anyone but you, which is perfect because you can be more relaxed about it and not think too much into or around it.

I think this is excellent advice.

Kind of agrees with what I had in mind.

It's been said, if you're going through hell, keep on going!

But I say if progress has drawn to a standstill, why stay where you are?

Even if progress has been remarkable, all the more reason to preserve what you have accomplished by coming to an advantageous stopping point, before . . . mothballs.

First of all it really is a complete about-face, away from working so hard toward a goal which is a realistic vision of completion. Overnight your new objective is to stake your ground and maintain distance from your goal instead, as you directly wind down to a halt in an orderly way.

Some well-earned breathing room seems in order.

You may need to catch up on a number of other unrelated things that could be de-prioritized for too long during such an all-consuming project. You may also get a more well-informed viewpoint about why you might want to get underway again, and how or when you would feel good about re-animating the project if so.

Hey it could be like Frankenstein bringing the inanimate back to life, do it on your own terms when you are fully ready, don't set the stage for your own creation to turn against you.
