Overwhelmed by project. 60 unchanging. 47 unchanging

Hello,

I work and study in design, which is a challenging state. I'm under extraordinarily pressure at the design agency (a 12 hour day is normal), and there is little time to catch up on my study, which also requires much of my energy. I just reached breaking point this week, and I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to quit, but it is increasingly crossing my mind despite working for four years to get to this point. Something needs to change.

My uni project is lagging behind, and I cant seem to get it working. It is a three-part educational pack for a museum to promote a permanent exhibition. I decided to do the Australian Satin bowerbird, as I know quite a lot about them and they are fascinating birds. I wanted to create a mini bower that could be constructed by primary school children, using pop-out and construct card to create the bower, two birds and blue items the kids can decorate around the bower like the birds do.
But I don't have much time and I'm exhausted. Is this even a great idea? :duh:

I asked: What is your advice for my project? 60. unchanging

That seemed very clear to me. I have too much. Order and limits needs to be given to this project.
I planned to do quite a lot of illustrations so I interpret this to mean I need to come up with another approach, one that is easier for me to do. One that would be enjoyable. The current approach is to hard for me.

So I asked. What would be the best way to represent bowerbirds? 47 confined. unchanging

I'm a little confused. Does this mean actually the idea is great, hang in there?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

So the last day and a half has been 47 for me: an intensely worrying and difficult time.

I've also been isolated both psychologically and physically. I'm at home alone and all my friends (who I thought could possibly help me with advice or insight) have been uncontactable by phone.

So I did what the I ching said, and for the past day I've looked inward into my own thoughts on the topic, my research and my own feelings of what I wanted to do. I've looked at what I have already. And finally I found the joy and the direction I needed!

I know now what I need to do. I'm excited and focused by what I have come up with.

Thank you for your comment Bradford.
