The you that wrote this won't make it. Cleanse yourself of doubt and fill it with (false if it has to be) confidence. You have 2 months to do a project you are proud of and do complete.
Take a deep breath. Zoom out and for the next 2 months do nothing else but focus on yourself. When you leave work don't have the idle thoughts about what to eat for dinner and such. Cut the AC cord off your TV (or whatever usually distracts you). Focus on doing only 1 thing, improving your self. Start and finish a project that makes you proud. It doesn't have to be the most original thought in the world, so don't waste time coming up with the 'big idea' - in a way, it doesn't really matter what it is.
Just make sure you know 1 person who's life will improve because of it.
If you really want to change your life and put your stamp on something meaningful, you have to dig deep. You are totally capable of this!
