Does work Truly Drain You?

I just wanted to ask this question. Is it just me or does work drain you? Since I have been on readbubble I have gotten a bit of my creativeness back. I udes to love to wright and creat things. I love taking pictures. But after a long day of work and when I get home I find it hard to get thoes creative ideas flowing. Then when they do get going ther all over the playce or its so late at night I can’t do anything about it because I need to be able to function at work.
I know I have always been a dreamer and even i feel thoes have been fleating slowly. I don’t know if its me or what.
I Guess what I am asking are 2 things
1) does work have this effect on others?
2) do you have any sugestions to help with this?

Think creatively when you’re working – put it together when you get home – that’s what I do

Am a full time mom and my job never sleeps. I try to write down any ideas I have then if I find time I give them a shot.

Lord yes it affects us! I live for the weekend when i can actually just get out and shoot or relax and unwind. I look at alll the beautiful work here and I get inspired! MAKE time for you. it important. If you are not happy…then no one around you will be. Do what youre doing now! Talk to other artists. Find a time for you even once a week to do what you want. I go with a friend a few times a month we pick a place and spend a few hours together shooting photos. Figure out what works best for you and stick to it. Best wishes Vonne
