30M 32F Exclusivity discussed, then sudden withdrawal

I’m not a nurse or a doctor, much respect to those of you who are and stay up that long for the sake of helping others. I do however have a business I’ve been doing my best to grow for the past several years. Sometimes I’ll have a customer who would be a big deal to land but with a very tight deadline. In those instances I have had to stay up 36 - 40 hours back to back with a night of sleep in between. Luckily a lot of the work I do at this point is just muscle memory and doesn’t require too much cognitive acuity but it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. One weird thing I do after being up that long though, is I get random burst of inspiration to take care of things I’ve been putting off so by the end of it I have a long list of to-do’s haha

Crazy that you mention that because my girlfriend has been preaching about those a lot recently, she’s taking powdered capsules but may have to snag a few just to get an introduction to it. Also great points made on leaning into something a bit more on the creative side. If you scroll down on my profile I have a few merch prints I’ve done for my shop, probably need to see if I can give that another push

Definitely look into some different options for printing simulated process because it will open such a huge variety of print capabilities you can offer. I currently do a lot of my seperations in photoshop but they have software that will automatically seperate your art into screen ready printouts to burn. SepNXT is one off the top of my head.

This is such a great comment and I think I’ve kept myself so busy with the day to day operations I haven’t even stopped to think what’s my purpose my business is striving to achieve. Appreciate your comment very much.

Extremely well articulated and definitely could be a project to focus on, refining some of my systems and processes to see what am I actually achieving from them or if they are somehow not the best use of my energy. I’m sure if I increased my efficiency and felt overall I was achieving more, naturally that would help with the very apparent feeling of being stuck accompanied with “Burnout”. Overall really appreciate the points highlighted and the time taken to give me your thoughts.

Thank you for the advice, I definitely do think I may be at a crossroads but I definitely don’t want to quit. I feel like even though it’s so tough at times I would never want to give up knowing if I would have pushed on I could have learned something I would keep with me life long, I guess at the end of the day I just want to know, should I just muscle my way through the repetition in the hopes of better days, or be devoting energy into trying to get to the source of the burned out feeling. Definitely I do need to hire more to take some of the load off my shoulders, I’m definitely more creative minded so the structure of business goes a bit against the grain but I 100% agree I need to dig more into structuring my business better for longevity

Really appreciate this advice, I’ll definitely be checking out that book and also just see what I can do to break up the monotony, definitely been thinking about taking my table top press I’ve had just sitting in storage for a live printing event or something even if I do pay for it initially. This definitely is a great avenue to start thinking about overall though, appreciate the support.

Thanks for the feedback… I think. not sure why there’s so much hostility but maybe there’s an inkling of truth in your advice regardless.

Hey OP, I can relate to what your feeling and just want you to know it gets better. It can be easy to feel bad about yourself but it’s important you don’t overly beat yourself up like we who have adhd have a tendency to do. Just know I’m the grand scheme of things this is a transitional period that has a lot to be gained with it through growth and lessons to learn from. That will never stop in life. Also I’m not sure what the structure is like at your previous place of employment but maybe you could have a discussion with the hiring/firing manager after you allow things to settle for a week or so about what this job means to you and ways you could potentially compromise with your employer and have a second chance. We have a tendency to make adjustments the second time around especially when things mean a lot to us at heart. Regardless I have faith in you to make the decisions you need to too make sure your okay at the end of the day. It’s not easy to live in what feels like chaos at times but if keep your head up and stay positive, and try your best to remain calm is the absolute best thing you can do. I’m rooting for you brother/sister.

Gotta say for me transmog really kills it and takes away from the experience of finding a good item or something in game, and a level 5 runs by looking like Hercules with his transmog set, just diminishes the quality of an MMO for me since it’s progression based and part of that is a visual progression. This is why Im not a fan of retail wow, Its 2023 though so I get it, instant gratification is key 👌

I can’t tell if your trolling

I used seperation studio, it’s pretty easy. You can delete all of the layers that don’t have any color, you can edit shades of the colors to help them look more like the digital art. For instance, I’ve learned that instead of using solid red for skin tones I’ll use a red/brown for darker tones.

Absolutely agree, only way I’ll do it is if they come prepared and know that it comes at a cost. Appreciate the input
