Hey man, i think we can all relate to your story :) My new year's resolution was to learn more fundamentals and get better and all that bullshit you do that day, and looking back at it i felt i was slacking most of the time, tired, burn out, lost motivation to do anything etc. Then I decided to take more days off, away from the computer and it sort of helped because it gave me a breather. Even though in the back of my head i felt super guilty that I wasnt drawing, when i got back to the computer I felt ready and pumped. Now I work a lot at a retirement home, and that drive has been multiplied even, because when you are away from your crafts you kind of build up your excitement and momentum until you can leave the job and go back to arts and crafts. Maybe you just need some more time away from it all? just a suggestion :) you know we can't be productive 24/7. I feel if you are giving it your best one year, the other year should have more laid back days. Maybe you are in that state now.
