Question:
Since I got into digital photography a year ago, I'm so involved I'm burning myself out. Suggestions?
I am intense and superfocused anyway (ADHD), and I used to write for 10 hours non-stop. Now that I've been involved in digital photography, I am so into it, and I'm so engrossed, I forget to eat -- to the point that if someone asks me whether I ate anything that day, I have to think back and often I realize I haven't. I also don't sleep much. I'm good at photography, but that's a secondary issue at the moment. How do I get control over this compulsion to create my art?
Answers:
See ADHD, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris... on page 7. Set an alarm/reminder on a $15 PDA, clock, or cellular mobile, and quit for the day, after a fixed time, maybe going out for a while, over the next few days, to avoid temptation.
