dealing with site block

[dogbrain]

hi all! i’m new to this forum so apologies for any mistakes 

lately i’ve been struggling with something i’ve dubbed “site block”, which is just webmaster-specific art block. i can imagine it’s something lots of you have either gone through before or currently are :,D i’ve had a neocities since 2021 but am giving it a massive overhaul and i’m finding it extremely difficult to just… sit down and work on it. my mind either goes blank or ventures elsewhere entirely and it’s quite frustrating! (adhd definitely doesn’t help either LOL )

i’m curious of a few things - have you dealt with this before? if so, what are some ways you’ve found to help it?

i’ll list a few of mine:
• sketching up rough concepts for pages - helps break down my ideas in more manageable chunks
• adding to my site’s pinterest board - gets me in the webcrafting mood
• browsing w3schools - refreshing my coding knowledge helps make executing my ideas feel less daunting

thanks so much! o7

Art block is such an annoying thing to deal with, you'll never know when it will go away, and you get anxious if you're going to stay like this forever...

But luckily, art block (or site block) is temporary, and I always find a way to get out of it, which is letting myself rest for a while, then look at my own art or site with a pair of fresh eyes. Some way I'll find cool ideas to add to my site.

One good thing about indie websites is that they are generally slow-paced, you aren't rushed to update the websites. It's a comfortable environment where I can work on my website in my own pace.
