i've been feeling so creatively blocked lately and throughout my internship i was so tired. i hated anything that's got to do with design and i wanted to quit so bad.
turns out i just need a break.

having a creative job is so fun. I feel really lucky that I get to do what I enjoy as a livelihood. it just sucks when it's time to clock out and I don't feel satisfied creatively bc I was making art for a company ( I <3 capitalism!!!!) instead of for myself, but I feel too burnt out to do anything creative after.
so sad.

i have a kind of corporate graphic design job and i haven’t really done a project 4 myself since i graduated so i decided to have a little creativity session w one of my best friends (who is also a graphic designer) and we built a concept for a project we are really excited about 😛
safe to say sometimes we’ve gotta sacrifice our free time of doing nothing to start chasing the things we want out in the world.

With my new design job it requires mood meetings and client meetings and setting up docs and getting invoices situated and confirming deadlines — all things I absolutely hate. The fun stuff all begins after the admin work is done. For me, mentally I’ve learned to see it as the work that opens the door to the fun part of the job which is the design and sketching and brainstorming and visioneering. I think something that’s helped me is understanding that if I do the admin work well it actually sets me up to do better with the rest of my work. For you it might be like “Oh if I ship these packages out I can start designing the next thing” or “If I make this call it’ll give me clarity on the next task.”
The only other solution is, if you’re able to, hire out that admin role. It’s $$$ but for some people getting that sorted opens the door for them to take on more work that they can do well. Our design team has an admin that soon will handle all the tedious tasks and then my brain can focus 100% on creativity as opposed to 25% admin and 75% creativity.

not to eat but like the way they look they're so cool- especially those ones that turned the people in the last of us into zombies.
