Hey peoplez. So I’m back from Turkey and actually feel rested and excited to get to do the work I do.

So I thought I’d mention an obvious tip for reviving creativity that always deserves mention: take a fucking vacation. I mean a real one: Not a weekend in the woods. Not a day off. I mean go somewhere for a few weeks and do not think about what you do for a living. Spend your time—I don’t know, say—jumping off boats into the Aegean Sea, or walking 4 stories down into ancient underground cities.

Give your mind a rest. Yes, I know you love your work, and that the balance between it and the rest of your life is good, because they’re so integrated that work doesn’t even feel like work at all. But do it anyway. I promise, you’ll come back into your work super energized, super grateful for the privilege of doing what you do, and super psyched to get back to it.
