Why invest on personal projects.
Why does it matter so much to work on personal projects?
Coming from the world of advertising, one of the most effective ways I found to keep my sanity was by dedicating time to my personal projects.
Despite the fact that many times (most) I arrived very tired, I made a commitment to myself to work even for an hour or two on whatever I was passionate about, outside of work.
This gave a #reset to my "Creative Self," which could not always do what I wanted or needed to keep its originality fresh, in addition to restoring meaning to my life.
Sometimes we drown in the "I have to do" and forget the "I want to do." This gradually makes our creative flame go out a bit.
The good news is that all of us, absolutely all of us, are creative beings and we will always be able to take back that flame and that spark to create.
In my experience, this also helped me to become independent and create my own business, in my own way and on my own terms. I think there are no words to explain how wonderful this has been.
So even if you think you don't have the energy or time for another task, dedicate what you can to the projects that you really like and make you happy. I assure you it's worth it.
