Being stuck often means you’re trying to solve the whole thing at once. Make just the next small decision.

Stuckness is usually a scope problem rather than an ability problem. Your head is holding the entire project at once, which no head can do, so nothing moves and the paralysis feels like proof you cannot do it. The way out is to shrink the question until it is answerable. Not what is this film, but which of these two shots comes first.
When you freeze, write down the very next decision in one line and answer only that. Then write the next one. An hour of small answers gets you further than an afternoon of staring at the whole thing.
Which single next decision would unstick the thing you abandoned?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
