Demotivated. Demoralised. Destroyed

Even though we have made some changes but we are just stuck in this bad dip. For all our previous projects we have bad weeks too, but it always lasts for about a week while for this project we have been having a few bad weeks in a row. We don't know how to bounce back and we don't have the motivation to. This is probably the most challenging project we've all been apart of.

This week we showed our lecturer what we came up with and the direction we have chosen to go to improve ourselves. It was okay and we were given more ideas to build on it.

The thing is now that we have so many things that we need to change, so many things that we need to try, so many decisions that we have to make. It's just all in our face and we don't know where to start. That's the thing at the moment, we have so much in front of us and we don't know where to start. To have something you've worked on for 5 months and having to rip it apart when it was 6 weeks till it was due dealt a huge blow to our morale. Right now we have no motivation whatsoever to start and we have been procrastinating. Team morale is at an all time low and no one seems to want to do work, at this current stage it's another month till all this is due and we are still very far from where we need to be.

We think the main thing is the fact there is so many things that can be either here or there which means we need to make decisions and we don't know what decision we make is right or wrong. Everything is just up in the air and it's all over the place that we don't know how to put it all together.

On top of this we have no idea how the website is going. Our group member Jeanel hasn't contacted us for over 3 weeks, there is no communication about the website and also no communication if she is coming to class or not and we also haven't seen her in about 2 weeks. Nothing from her side so we don't know what is going on there and if we need to think of another plan for the website.

With a month to go I don't know how we will bounce back from this, as it's been about three weeks have we've been in this bad run. We just hope somehow, something will happen that can put some drive back into ourselves.
