Day 3 finished - 5h done

CoreyH - Ya got me, also yes you've lost once you never return. Thanks for the visit.
Imogen - Long time no see :D
Angel - It works differently for me. I cant imagine taking a year off. I already took a vacation + when I got back I did fulfilled my goal for one day, finished a piece I was proud of, and started slacking off, thus leading to me feeling guilty. I can understand overworking yourself and have done it in the past, but Ive learned from those, both from successes and mistakes I've gathered info about myself. This is why I'm not immediately jumping into 10h a day goals, instead I ease into it. I guess if I wanted to take a long break from technology, Id go vagabonding and bring my sketchbook. I got a taste of travelling on my vacation and it was quite inspiring and refreshing.
Bookend - I will :)
Vornag - My recent situation was kind of opposite, from what you described. I was too carefree so I actually needed more pressure to make myself work, instead of slacking off. I have burned out twice before and took breaks then, it worked. Also I burned out due to being overly frustrated by some results. However I dont get frustrated anymore(perhaps mildly annoyed, when I keep trying something and not getting the results I want). I'm already doing whatever I want to do most of the time. Theres a place for studies, but if it starts feeling like a drag, then I switch to sketching stuff.
