Are you obsessed with your creativity? You should be. Start there.
But now that you’re obsessed…it’s time to take a break.
My brain obsesses over pet projects. It’s nearly impossible to peel me away. I spend every waking thought on the project. I’ll skip meals and sleep…devoting my energy to the task.
Eventually, though, something gets in the way of my obsession. An obstacle, a block…what was once an obsession is now a sense of loathing. The project is no longer an opportunity…it’s dead weight.
Force yourself to escape from the obsession while you’re still excited. Recharge. Though you don’t feel it, your energy is draining. You will burn out if you aren’t careful.
So take a cruise without your tools. Escape to the pool or beach and completely disconnect from your craft. Even if it’s only for a couple hours. Temporarily escape the buzz of creativity now so you can avoid the creative hangover later.
