It can sometimes feel as if your studio is taking over every aspect of your life, right?  Especially in the early days or when you are expanding your studio quickly.  But, this is not what you signed up for.

Back when I taught in the school system, I would routinely work 60 hours a week.  At certain times of the year, those hours would bump up to 80 hours per week.  One of my uncles pointed out that 80 hours was impossible during the workweek.  I asked why he thought I was only working Monday to Friday.  Sound familiar?

When you work those kinds of hours it’s hard to feel like you have time for anything other than your studio.  And, when this happens it can lead burnout.  Or, even closing down your studio for good.
