Last night I had about six hours of time that should’ve been productive, and yet … it wasn’t.
Instead of knocking out a couple of big things I had planned on working on, I ended up staying up way too late watching Try Guys videos.
…which don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed! I think the video about them starting their own company is really inspiring, and they just have so many videos that are really entertaining… 😀
This is a balancing act that I often struggle with creatively. I’m sure a lot of people have highs and lows – times when you’re super pumped and just firing on all cylinders, and other times when you think you’re super pumped, but then you actually sit down to do some work and … it ain’t happening.
Worse yet, you don’t necessarily know that it’s the latter until after you’ve spent an entire evening being unproductive!
And at the same time, you can’t always be working because that’s how people burn out. Plus, I did enjoy what I was doing instead of working.
I suppose that’s really the crux of it – I’d like to learn how to better manage work and fun in advance to make it more of an ebb and flow as opposed to a struggle from one extreme to the other.
