Every 3D artist has a personal project, and half of them never get finished.

This 10-minute deep dive explores why personal projects are exhausting us, using research from Maslach & Leiter’s burnout model. We break down the psychology behind unfinished work, the emotional cost of hustle culture, and how creative spaces accidentally normalize overwork.
You’ll learn how to:
• Redefine “finished”
• Build rest cycles
• Adopt the “done, not perfect” approach
• Choose micro-projects over mega-projects
• Set limits that protect your mind
• Rebuild your creative identity without burnout

If your creative life feels draining instead of energizing, this episode will help you reset, recharge, and rebuild.
