confident about. Now, a couple of weeks into the project I am feeling like I don't understand it and I am afraid I am going to fail. Any suggestions for how to get motivated once you feel like you are not sure where to start? This is a technical project and I went to school for this, but sometimes there is a learning curve in a new situation. I think this is what I am facing. Any thoughts?

Myra,

Ask for help! Use your consultants, boss or coworkers!

I can't even begin to tell you how many projects came my way that I felt like running down the street SCREAMING because I had no clue what they were about.

I think the worst one was an oil spill remediation. My boss told me to go to a meeting. I found out the project was mine when the engineer said to me "And now that the project is yours...."

This involved more than engineering. It involved finance, budgeting, planning, maintenance, instrumentation, insurance, contracts, and so on and so on.

My consultants and my coworkers (engineers and accounting people) truly saved my ****. The project, which is still going on though I'm no longer with the company, got positive recognition from the state.

It's all about organizing your thoughts. Write out the objectives. What the perfect end game would be like. Then tackle each one at a time. Write out on paper what you know......write out what needs to happen and find a way to connect them. If that doesn't work then go out, distract yourself with something completly different and the solution my present itself. If you went to school for this, it isn't the first time you have been stumped, you were successful then you will be now, It's what you DO!
