Why don’t I schedule days to rest? I’ve experience first hand how powerful it is, so like, why don’t I? I’ve been running on rest as needed, but preventative maintenance would be a lot better. I seem to be on a rough schedule of one month intense, one month mellow. Why not go along with it? Sometimes I have slow months, and I think that’s okay. Probably having a set day off per week would help me determine when I need more rest. Maybe I take the next four Mondays off from creative projects. The only thing about having scheduled days off is that I might feel like I must be creative on the non-off days. I want to push myself the right amount. Sometimes I just want to chill and hang out, you know? Currently, I feel like I’m letting someone down if I’m not constantly doing something creative. It’s probably some form of anxiety which I satisfy by making stuff. I guess I don’t always set the expectation, so I revert to, “must always be creative or else!” But that’s not realistic and it’s not like I have an audience to let down anyway, so who is there to let down? Future me? I’m sure future me would be glad to see current me taking steps tone things down a bit and find a good balance.
