We tend to feel unconfident whenever we are given a huge project but we are unable to provide excellent results the first time around.
Try to be kinder to yourself during this time and remember that perfection cannot be achieved in one try, not every project is flawless. The important thing to remember is to not let yourself succumb to fear that will prevent you from doing anything.

Aim for progress not perfection

When you run out of ideas on how to finish your project or you need a different perspective for a fresh interpretation of the project, do not hesitate to ask other people for help.
Collaborating with other people can make you feel motivated on finishing a goal.

Reach out to your team for a fresh perspective

If you're feeling stuck on a section of your report or just feeling tired in general, it's most likely that your body is not getting enough exercise.
Exercising raises your heart rate and increases blood flow to the brain. It also increases your cognition - which would be greatly beneficial to you and your task. It doesn't have to be a hard exercise, you could take a 15 minute walk outside just to refresh your mind and let yourself take a breather.

When you feel stuck at work, get a move on

When you feel that you are unable to do even a menial task, your motivation is your biggest friend.
When a huge project is given to you and it feels overwhelming, give yourself some time to examine the project and break it down to bite-sized piece that you can take on. At the end of the day, you are still able to finish tasks and have achieved something.

When you feel overwhelmed, start with small steps

When your mental gas tank is depleted, there are things you can do to keep big projects moving forward.
