I Did this Simple Thing to Overcome Writer’s Block — It Works

Writer’s block is real and happens in every writer’s life. Not once or twice. It comes without any invitation.

Writer’s block is real and happens in every writer’s life. Not once or twice. It comes without any invitation. And people who are doing multiple jobs are more prone to writer’s block. The same goes for me.

👩‍💻I am a freelance writer

💻A blogger

👩‍🎨A self-taught artist

📈A blogger web builder

📖And a lazy reader too🫤

I found the most common reason for my writer’s block.

🗯 The reason for my writer’s block is sometimes a load of work. When things get saturated, it causes a bit of frustration. That reduces my productivity.

🗯 Secondly, I think distraction is also a big problem and reason for my writer’s block.

There are so many ways to get out of writer’s block, and I’ve talked about them before as well.

Here I am going to share one that works for me in my recent Weiter’s block.

As I talk about the reason (overloading work causes frustration, and distraction reduces productivity). This is what I realised. Your views and experiences might differ.

So these things collectively lead to burnout.

What does burnout mean?

It means that when you are continuously in a working state, your mind and body get fatigued. You feel low on energy, and creativity gets minimised.

Avoid burnout

The only things you have to do to avoid burnout are “take a break” and do some leisure activities.

✔️ Go outside with friends or family

✔️ Spend quality time

✔️ Cook some food for you

✔️ Do a bit of self-care

✔️ Make your mind free from everything for some time.

Taking a break works so well for me. Spending time in nature and giving myself some importance stimulates my creativity and makes me able to work with a new boost of energy and motivation.

We are humans, and it is not possible for us to work robotically. When we cross our human capacities, we burn out. Your productivity, performance, and creativity are influenced by your physical and mental capacities. So, I decided to keep things manageable and take frequent breaks.
