More and more I hear from wildly talented, hard working people who are hitting the burn out wall. In case you feel behind the trend and want to catch up, here’s my:
Handy, step by step guide to making decisions that will fry your ambition to a crisp.
Let’s begin, shall we?
1) Promise too much for too little and then force yourself to deliver on it.
2) Be very, very nice. All the time.
3) Care too much about people.
4) Never set limits on your time, expertise, or patience.
5) Work weeknights more often than not.
6) Work weekends more often than not.
7) Don’t spend any time with your friends.
8) Allow fear of being bullied to force you into hiding.
Any questions? Have I missed anything?
I say ditch the time wasting activities and start LIVING your life out loud!!!! π

8) forget that all this creativity is a resource that can’t be replenished by listening to the alarm on your iphone…or any other external source for that matter.
I do okay with all the others if I remember this one.. but it’s a biggie
Creativity is the source of life for folks like us!! I agree that rolling with it is 10x better than resisting those wonderful inspirations!
Oops, I see myself on a few of these items. I normally set limits, but sometimes I let my guard down. Hmmm I see I need to beef up the ramparts again.
Lori thank you for the reminder!
I’m just one person. I deserve to live a little.
