Yeah I feel ya Taylor, the study/work balance can be tough. For me I realise it's less about time and more about discipline. I KNOW I can put in 30 mins or an hour at the beginning of the day before I burnout on client work; do I do it. haha....nope. Well I'm getting better at it slowly after not doing much consistent study in the last year.
Freelance burnout is a real problem. I am feeling it myself, but there is a consistent feeling I always can tap into, and that is the memory of all those times I got into work or studies and almost always end up loving it because of the love for the process even if I don't feel it before I do it. meditation has helped me ridiculous amounts in the last year, to feel that sense of equanimity and no judgement about the work itself and my so called progress. I think it's important to have down time away from the net and screens as well, it's a huge suckage of time and energy. I'm going to instill a "No tech" or "no net" day for myself at least one day a week, and see how that goes.
Keep it up dude, you're doing all the right things, and great news about the freelance work :)
