Burn Out?
I’m working on a personal project that is very near and dear to me, and it needs serious funding. Therefore, I have been working my booty off. This had led to a bit of burn out on my end. I’m pulling out all my discipline and chinning up to push through it.
Writers- what do you do about burn out?
Discipline to push through is a great thing to have in a pinch. But, hopefully, you can make it a little easier on yourself along the way. I include breaks in my workday of 10 to 20 minutes, for activities that will get my mind completely away from my project. Also, I never underestimate the power of a 10 to 15 minute power nap.
Often, when I’m overly invested in a project, I find I’m spending too many hours daily. I try to pull back to a standard day when I can. I may even add a short day if possible. I try to pay attention to what my body tells me. Often it will give me the answers about what I need to get rejuvenated.
