Small quick projects help

Small projects can help since that sense of accomplishment comes easier compared to bigger projects, but personally if it isn’t urgent, taking a step back and not crocheting at all helps. There’s nothing wrong with taking a break for as long as you need. I take random breaks as needed and when I feel like crocheting I do, forcing myself just makes me work much slower as opposed as taking a break and working a lot when motivated, not sure if it would be the same for you. For instance forcing myself to crochet for a week doesn’t compare to taking a break for a week then crocheting a lot in one day

I’ve just come out of that. I kept busy organizing my patterns in my google drive, sorted out my yarn, inventory my yarn ( well some of it), collected patterns that were free.
I think what really helped was putting yarn in storage that I wasn’t going to use soon. Surrounded by all the yarn in my apartment, I felt pressured to make stuff and “quick” because my apartment was getting crowded.
When things get cluttered I can’t
think.

When that happens to me i like to either take a small break for 3 days and do something else i enjoy or i like to just scroll patterns and see what catches my eye with something small and easy to make that i can enjoy for myself

most people have already said this, but small quick projects that make you happy when you’ve finished them are GREAT!! you could make one of your favorite animals maybe? one that helped me get out of burnout was @sukimaecrochet’s kuchi kopi, it is ADORABLE:

I’ve had crochet block for quite some time. Finally did some knitting for a while. Just waiting for that “one” pattern that gets me excited enough to crochet.

Make something small for yourself! Earlier this week i was feeling exhausted from crochet prep for markets so i just put it all away and took out a blanket that istarted a while back and for a couple days thats what i worked on. Now I’m back to prepping keychains and Im actually having fun!
