Great post. Great tips.
great post! I love all the pointers, creative burnout can be overwhelming sometimes, but you had some great tips!
Thanks-- a great post, and definitely one I needed to read.
Thanks guys
It was really liberating to just say everything out loud. I often get worried about admitting burnout and periods of business-ruts but I think it's good to know that everyone goes through this and that there's almost always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for sharing, Grace. It's a definate part of being a creative entrepreneur. We get a creative burst of energy- then have to implement all those great ideas. Then we're pooped! Good tips!
thanks for being so honest grace! i'm sure you'll help many people.
and sorry for the one bad egg. we all know that none of that bad stuff is true!! people will find any way to take down others. it's really quite sad.
thank *you* for all that you do for the design community!
