Taking a creative Break

Taking a creative break is not a bad thing to do at all. I from time to time take creative breaks. The reason is because I do not want to start hating what I do. When I am working on something and If I feel I am forcing myself to do the work I stop. Because then I feel I would not be producing my best work.

When I work on a project I am focused 110% and I will not stop till I am done. Doing project after project can wear you out and bore you. A lot of people may be thinking take a break? What is that or do you mean take a vacation? You could set a certain of the week when you are not going to do any work. The day will be your day off.

Another thing is that you could have a queue of work that is stacked up. Having a queue of work gives you freedom to take a break. The secret is being great with managing the time that you have set out.

Knowing when to take a break


When you notice that you brome a workaholic it can be hard to take a break. For example if you are used to working with taking a short break, then changing that routine can be hard.

Another example is if you are working a day job and at night your working on your actual dream job or startup. There are many things that you can compromise for overworking. Your health is one main factor.

If you don’t have the energy then how are you going to be able to keep up. I for one do not need more then 5 hours of sleep. But I exercise regularly and do not need more then that. For you it may be a bit different. Therefore not all of us are the same.

To put things in simple perspective remember to take care of yourself. Listen to your body and your soul. If your working on a project or dealing with a client learn how to say ok I”m going to take a break.
