Listen Later

Have you ever wanted to throw in that towel on your toy dreams? Maybe you’ve been on the hunt for your dream toy job, or perhaps you’ve been working on developing and launching an amazing new toy idea. You might also be a new toy inventor struggling to make contact with a toy company that you have the perfect idea for. After months or years of non-stop hard work you might be feeling mentally, emotionally, and even physically exhausted. Well, before you give up on those big dreams of yours, give this podcast episode a listen.

Creative burnout happens to the best of us. The more often you tap into the creative side of your brain to design a new toy product or solve a new problem, the more likely you are to feel tapped out. In today’s episode we will reflect on Creative Burnout. We’ll start by describing what it is, how you can delay it, and what to do once it finally takes over. Find out why and how you can prepare for creative burnout and the importance of accepting and acknowledging it when it comes.
