How do I get the motivation to fix this laptop mainboard?

The only thing wrong with it is the charge ports, but the problem is 44 of the 48 pads across the 2 type c ports are missing. (don't ask me how, I don't know either, its used since it was the only replacement board I could afford)

I've been putting it off for a few months now, I know what must be done, I just am too intimidated.

Any tips for reframing this problem so i stop putting it off would be appreciated

The latest stage of the rework. All areas of the painting have had some work done on them.

Turns out I wasn't done with this franchise yet

Pretty sure I will still return to it. Someday.

I masked off a couple of areas then added some texture to those areas.

Partner asked if anyone knows anyone in Germany (where he lives) who can de-solder BGA153 EMMCs, he has a few boards and would be grateful for some help
