I have been feeling exhausted all day (didn’t sleep well last night, had a session with my therapist today) so I didn’t make it into the studio. I needed a rest. I’m going to do some work on my laptop so I don’t feel guilty about not working. 

When you’re self employed, for a lot of people the struggle is to maintain the discipline and the drive to do the work when the only structure you have depends on what you create for yourself. 

For me that’s not an issue. I tend to have the opposite problem in that I drive myself really hard. I easily and often work 7 days a week. I don’t always work 8 hour days days because my back problems don’t allow it, so it’s part of the reason I push myself so much. I work as much as I can while I can. And I often feel guilty when I take a day off. And I’ve been in a creative flow lately so I want to work all the time right now. I’m inspired and excited. I’ve been spending a lot of long hours in the studio in my zone. But today I had nothing left. I listen to my body, and when it has had enough I have to give in. I’m so tired I feel hungover.
