No, I don't think applying psychology to feel comfortable with an
undesirable situation will help to make things better.
There may be situations where temporarily scaling down the size of a
problem prevents capitulation and paralysis. But there is a difference
between "I won't be able to finish this on my own, but I'll just start
anyway" and "I won't be able to finish this on my own, so I'll pretend
it is not worth doing".
