Anyone stressed out?

I often wonder how the musicians of the forum find time to work on music after work, since I struggle to allocate time to draw and paint.

It's one of the most frustrating aspects of my life at this point. Especially since I'm doing what amounts to hard, repetitive labor right now; I'm just shattered at the end of the day. My hands and wrists ache sometimes. If I get in a half hour of guitar in the evening, that's a good day.

Yeah, I never feel like doing anything after work..

There's really no excuse. If we wish to succeed, we must keep our noses to the grindstone. Others in more difficult situations are still able to accomplish their goals.

Let's see, I work around 60 hrs a week as a financial consultant, I teach two undergrad physics courses at NYU (thank God they just ended) and my PhD dissertation is due in a year. What, me stressed?

Do like me: look at the piles of work on your table, very intensively, and go to sleep for the evening. I even missed the latest round of punches flying in the politics forum today.

Now I'm awake in the middle of the night, wondering what to do until I have to be off to work in less than 4 hours. Duh.

Cheers!

try therapeutic nihilism: don't do your work and notice how much of it isn't all that important anymore after a week or two. Best thing: people will stop asking you for it, it just goes away. Work is like water, it flows where it is taken away. If you do a lot of work, a lot of work is gonna come your way.
