A 6 month gap was the healthiest emotional choice I ever made. Just be prepared that you have no idea how you'll react to it until you do it. I strongly recommend setting very light goals for the first month while you adjust, otherwise you'll stress yourself out.
For me, I went with "Take one great photo a day."
- psychomugs 5y agoI've done two 366 photo-a-day projects (the first was in 2012, the second was 2020). Last year was simultaneously the worst and best time to do one; worst because of obvious reasons, but best because it was a quarantine monotony barometer ("monotometer") and helped me plan my days so that at least one interesting photographable thing would happen. I definitely felt burnout and oversharing, but I'd probably do it again and just keep the photos in a private album or print them immediately.
- afkoder 5y agoThat's so wholesome. During my 6month gap I did nothing but see much THC I could put in my body, eat fried chicken, play computer games, watch porn, and generally decline physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. I think I learned a bad lesson by getting a much better and better-paying job than I had before the break, without putting much effort in.
