Great piece! 💖💖💖 I can somewhat relate to this; I worked as a journalist for over two years before I burned out and emerged with stress, depression, and fear of running out of time.. among many, many others. Now I am a copywriter, writing product descriptions, etc., while writing as not just a hobby but a way of life. Many times I fell into the trap of procrastination when it comes to posting on Medium, for example, and I am still trying to figure it out! It's just the feeling that, when I'm not faced with a deadline, I tend to become pretty lazy or easily distracted.

Currently, I'm trying to stay well-read. And when I feel uninspired, I just read a lot of other people's works or go on a long walk!
