Sorting out mountain of references in my PhD document

What is the quickest and safest way to check all my references in my PhD document before submission? I've used endnote but admittedly I haven't been checking every detail of the citation as I have been importing them to my document. I am worried about using AI to check as I know it has a tendency to make things up. Has anyone come across or used a good workflow or tool that has helped them get through this mountain of references efficiently and without going mad?

What is your holy grail tech stack for dissertation/thesis

I know we all have our own ways of working but I’m curious how everyone is using tech to help their research/writing process - apps, sites, tools, etc and what do you use each for?

How do you stay motivated on a project that won't show any real results for another year?

The timeline on my work means the payoff, if it comes, is a long way off, and the daily reality is a lot of slow grinding with no visible progress. Some weeks the distance to anything that feels like a result is just demoralizing. For those of you deep in multi year projects, what actually keeps you going through the long featureless middle where nothing seems to be moving?
