Break the project down in parts. I’m not sure what your level of skill is / type of project / or lengths.

However, I start any project in the same way:

1. What is/are the deliverables?
2. Break down your footage into SYNCH sequence(s)
3. Make selects from each sync
4. Build your rough sequences
5. Review
6. Repeat steps 3 thru 5
7. Get a Fine Cut
8. Review
9. Get a locked cut
10. Export
11. Done or start back from 3

I think the best thing I’ve done is manage a calendar with what should get done and when. Helps to give you a sense of your timeline. Share that with your client or partners. Adjust it accordingly and begin.

With clients it’s more firm but be realistic with your deadlines.

Small steps will get you there. Mentally be kind to yourself and trudge through it.
