This is a joke and all but this is seriously a good idea. It's possible to get yourself in a real depressive funk because all your creative works are big complicated things that you have to work on for a long time and you keep coming up short or failing. That lack of success can really start to burn you out.
But you know what I guarantee you will be able to do? Put together this little Lego plane. Go get a small set for like 25$ and just put it together. You're not trying to make a Big Artistic Statement, you don't have to deal with perfectionism, you don't have to go learn a bunch of new skills and buy a bunch of new tools and supplies, you're just gonna make a little Lego set. You will succeed, I'm sure of it.
Maybe it's just my particular flavor of ADHD/autism, but his has really helped me from time to time. When you're in a rut because you're trying to do great things and failing, maybe try switching to something simple and offline that you can definitely do. Put together a Lego car or plane or train. You'll have fun, I promise.
And then when you get back to work, you can have that little set sitting on your desk, and look up at it every time you take a break. See, you can succeed at things, your brain is just being mean.
