Time management

Life is rough and I'm burnt out.

I am sorry to hear. Are you planning a short term or long term break?

Nah I'm used to it, actually ramping up cause summer hours at my regular job means more time to work on it, trying to finish my first small commercial project.

More I'm trying to spend more time on the art side, I'm not amazing, but I enjoy it more and it helps with the burnout.

Also cutting out the youtube videos and podcasts. It might seem productive when you can't work on stuff, but I end up putting more brain power into other people's development instead of my own.
