Whatever you’re working on, remember that its okay to take breaks. Sometimes it can actually help to give yourself a break and then revisit it a few minutes later. It’s valid to do it in short bursts because you’re breaking it into smaller more manageable pieces.

Just had my personal project exhibition. My feelings are mixed. It’s amazing what we’ve been able to accomplish and it was an awesome experience. But I am so relieved its over. As a friend said, “The next project is the real world.”

Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery, and reflection are essential parts of the progress towards a successful and ultimately happy life.
