London markets research and project

The amount of research I have pulled into this project is really not inspiring me. I spent more than a week going to markets, taking photos and talking to people only to find out what I thought by myself in the first place. And I ended up doing exactly what I thought I would do. I was hoping to prove to myself in this project that the amount of research we do is actually somewhat realistic and changes my mind and views on things, but it has not at all. And it is really annoying me. I get a new brief and usually I think that this is going to be great, but after two weeks of unnecessary research I have two more weeks to do design, prototyping, research if the designs and prototyping is good enough and then probably do it again. I lose all interest and motivation on our projects before the fun part starts so I always end up doing way worse than I imagine my ideas to be.
