Thanks for the suggestions.
As a new, budding designer… and current video editor… I am frequently feeling burnt out, overwhelmed and all-consumed by work, never able to “shut it off”.
Thanks for the tips. Rekindling my creativity would be a blessing.

Knitting FTW!

I try and get outside every so often. I recently added a laptop to my creative arsenal, so I’m going to try working from the coffee shop, or the park or something.

i knit! i can’t sit still to read a book, but i can sit down for long lengths of time if my hands are busy, like knitting. plus, it’s creative, since i alter most of the patterns i choose or create my own.

Yea no staying creative 24/7 is as difficult as it gets sometimes.

If I ever get a Creative block, I disappear down the the sea with my camera and have some fun…usually helps.

I’d say it also pretty much depends on whether you’re spending all your day inside sticking your eyes on to computers screen or you do other activities. They might be anything you enjoy, as you said sport or visiting some fashion shows, changing the location where you work, like take your laptop sometimes with you to sit back in a coffee house. For me it’s more like i need to see people every day and many of them, they don’t have to be my buddys, just seeing the crowd kind of inspires.

I have been wanting to blog about this for a while now. I too work in an environment that is less than creative by nature (the financial industry). Some of these people barely have a pulse. It is good in the sense that I can do things that push myself. It is bad, because people do not want anything “outside the box.”

Anyway, going to the gym is helping, or at least stopping me from making my first kill.

Nice post! Good to see I am not alone heh.
