Hey there, Weegee. So, on the topic of streams, I do, but they've been a pretty low priority thing for me. I put them on pause primarily because I was putting so much of my time towards both the Drawabox overhaul and my work on the course I made for Proko (which dropped today! https://www.proko.com/course/the-science-of-deciding-what-you-should-draw/overview), and now with my apartment flooding and Scylla and I being temporarily displaced, it's all kind of up in the air. I will in all likelihood return to it, but it's gonna be a while yet. We'll be back to a point of stability in September... unless something else goes wrong. I think I've had the good (and perhaps, in some ways, bad) fortune of hitting a point in the development of Drawabox that a *lot* of opportunities hit around the same time that it would have been unwise to reject. Proko was a big part of that - when Stan reached out to collaborate together, first on the Aphantasia video, then this course, the opportunity was too good to pass up - although to be fair, my imposter syndrome alarm is going off like crazy right now. The way I used to see things, I had three jobs - at least for the last few years. My day job at Silverback Games, Drawabox, and OGMA - which is pretty much what you listed. OGMA itself took up that block of time I used to commit to doing things for fun, with no real pressure. Illustrations, working on my game development projects, etc. That was certainly unfortunate, but it was for a good cause, since it was basically a shared project I worked on with Scylla, while we were still long-distance. Since then however, it's turned into this giant thing of its own, although one with a workload we've been able to reduce quite a bit, down to just one day per two weeks. Last summer, I was able to really wind down my work at Silverback, but that is also the same time that Stan reached out, and my responsibilities with Drawabox also increased, both filling the void - so it's like the free time I promised myself I'd reclaim evaporated, and I've been joking to myself that I burned out many months ago. That's my secret, cap. Now, the main difference is that unlike before, none of these projects are just continuous things that will go on for the forseeable future. The Aphantasia video's done. This course is done. I may work on other courses in the future, but definitely not for a while. Even my overhaul of the Drawabox material will be finished eventually, and updating Lessons 3 and 4 will allow me to hand off those critiques to TAs, freeing me up even further. So whether I'm just fooling myself or not, free time is on the horizon. To actually address your question though, I think that block I kept free, which eventually got eaten up by OGMA, is *incredibly* important, and we all owe ourselves some down time to keep from going nuts. It's not that we can't work during that time too - it's that it is a block of time we should not commit to anything long term. A block of time where no matter what you choose to do, you have the permission not to feel guilty. Draw, play video games, read a book, go outside, join a cult. All is allowed, in your free time.
