Diversify your activities

As artists we love what we do, which is AWESOME! Some people have nothing they love to do and it wreaks havoc on their life and health. However, when you love what you do, you tend to do lots of it, often too much. When we burn the candle at both ends, it is impossible to stay fresh and inspired. What we once loved becomes a drudgery and task. To stay fresh and inspired you must force yourself to break routine and engage in other activities. I tell my friends to write their own eulogy and the things that you hope will be said at your funeral are the things you need to be doing on a daily basis. Seriously try this and you will see, you are living a more fulfilled and productive life and it will show through your work.
