Too many hobbies is bad–Jack of all trades = master of none!

Good for you that you realized it. I can’t tell you how many MONTHS went by before I figured out why all my creativity had vanished…

I went through a similar time a few months ago. I’d turn on my computer, knowing I had to blog, and I’d just stare at it. I had nothing to say. Not an opinion. Nothing. And you’re right, I had spent so much time not guarding my time, that my creative side just shut down. I had a few suggestions from friends, like prayer and virtual bubble wrap popping sessions, but truly, what I needed most was rest, and psalms. I’ve relied on adrenaline for so long to be the final push I need to get the job done, that when the adrenaline and creativity dried up, I had no reserves to draw on. I am doing better with my time now, actually right on the verge of crossing the line again, but I’m aware of it and guarding what limited time I have left. Thanks for the reminder.

Sometimes I feel like I can only write when other pressures are closing in on me. It shouldn’t be like that. I live saying no to the good so you can say yes to the great, that’s awesome!

Man–I know this feeling all too well. Thanks for the post and the reminder that when I feel like this, there are others who feel like that too. I am not alone
