been doing a lot of art outside of my usual wheelhouse in the last month or so, and feeling really good about it. as much as i wish i was cranking away at my many dev projects, i also have been getting a lot better about acknowledging when i'm burnt out and need to find another outlet for a moment and letting it happen.
one of the most important lessons for me to learn was that you can't just "push" your way through being overworked in the hopes that you'll crawl your way through the light at the end of the tunnel; sometimes you need to just wait, and find something else to do in the meantime until you are ready to move again.
so it's been nice to immerse myself in other mediums for a bit. and it's also been really nice not needing to look at screens (as much).
