It’s especially hard when you value and practice a writing habit. And like all habits, if practiced to the extreme, it can start to be harmful. Exercise is good, but you can’t exercise 24 hours a day or your body will fall apart.

So, it’s important to build in times of rest when you take a break from writing. The breaks can be just as important as the times when you’re active. Without breaks, your creativity doesn’t have time to marinate.

Plus, nobody likes a workaholic or someone who only talks and thinks about their work all the time. It’s not good to live an unbalanced life.

So, make sure to take a break. Your health, mental energy, and your very life might depend upon it. There’s more to life than getting more writing done.
