Haha!! 9-5er here! I’d say the one positive aspect of a FT job (well aside from paying bills) is that I only have so much time to create and therefore I must pick one thing. I don’t necessarily get sidetracked but the abundance of options. So then, when I really commit, I really make a lot of progress on that one thing. That aspect also helps me avoid burnout as well. Now when I’m trying to balance full time work, plus art show season, plus creativity? That’s a heavy load! (Like May of last year when we were in Foster S3! 😅) speaking of, see you in an hour!
I see that, yeah, constraints that can lead to creativity. And avoiding burnout is something worth considering too. I guess I have my freemasonry to help with that, as I'm away on weekend trips at least 3 out of every 4 weekends. And I've just turned my reading hobby into a work thing, so there's that! Same with my guitar practice - that goes on YouTube, too, or at least the results of it do. Maybe starting a freemasonry channel wasn't the best idea, which is why it's languishing since I started it.
