Recharging

It is way too easy to get overworked. This is what makes recharging so vital. We need to read other works than our own. We need to see friends and family. We need to match movies or tv or listen to music or take walks outside. We need to sleep and rest and make ourselves whole. Without being all we are, our work suffers.

Recharging is one of the most important things anyone can do. But it is also the most dangerous. It is too easy to let that recharging momentum build into a stall. It is easy to feel lazy. It is easy to decide to leave your work for just one more day. This is a deathtrap.

What good is it to have ideas, but never use them? What good is it to have great plots and characters but never meet them& None. No good at all.

We all have creative avenues that bog us down. We all have a need to take a step back and breathe. But we have a responsibility to be disciplined in our work. We all have a responsibility to get up, breathe deep, and plunge into the pool of creativity again.

Don`t let downtime grow into a habit that will deprive you of good work. Let it do what it is supposed to do and recharge us so we can provide our best work.
