I never look at a project as a whole thing. Break it down into steps. List what needs to be done first , second, third, etc.
Most patterns have some sort of organized system and you can expand on it. For example I love Pam Bonos' patterns but they can be hard to follow with many small and odd shaped pieces. Each part of a quilt as parts or sections and breaking them down into units makes each task simpler.
Wish I knew what pattern you are challenged by! It might not be as bad as you imagine.
