Take a job painting houses. After working mindless hours just covering walls in one color you will begin to feel rejuvenated. Ideas will start jump starting your creative and you will want to break out of the one color thing and back into design.
- i think that's good advice. Just wish I could make my financial responsibilities disappear. Ahhh I'm being a baby.richardkark

I have my creative waves. But generally have a very infinite amount of energy for photography and design. I think it is because of the passion and love I have for all styles. So much respect and great work out there.

tell someone. take more time off work. an extra-long weekend. and don't just drink and sleep late. do something different. get out of town.
i let burn-out get the better of me twice, when i thought i just have to push on and get over it. it's not worth it.

I recently quit my job, but arranged to keep working for them from home on a freelance basis, then moved to a beautiful and relatively cheap country. No regrets.

Just came off 2 massive jobs, 6 weeks hard at it, lots of travel, not 1 day off. And now back at home and feel really weird, depressed and sad. I can see how one can get addicted to working hard. Running away from facing that feeling and what it means.

Will go for a jog tomorrow. Hopefully that helps.

besides drinking alcohol, the other thing I know that really helps is to go out and spend some time with kids. Kids are amazing in teaching you what is really important in our life.
