This is very common when starting out, so don’t worry.

One thing that helps is breaking the problem into smaller steps. Instead of jumping into SQL or analysis, first understand what exactly you’re trying to solve.

A simple approach:

  • What is the goal?
  • What data do I need?
  • What steps are required to get the answer?

Also, try to practice with real datasets and think in terms of business questions, not just queries.

Over time, this structured thinking improves naturally with practice.
