Malicious Uncertainty
Uncertainty is such a hurdle that is hard to overcome. Knowing the problem is half solving it, but knowing nothing actually freaks me into denial and panic, so much that I run away to protect myself from non-existent threats which are actually solvable issues.
Research on the problem is thus a vital part in tackling a project, the most important part I would say. Without an initial understanding, the motivation in working on and finishing the task will be prohibitively low.
Doing the study and keeping the uncertainty in check will help me complete the objective. It will stop the irrational fear and lead to a more worry-free life.
