Need to slow down

Post by ebo »

Apologies for the little output of promised paints on my todo list.

I am currently suffering a burnout and need urgently to recover.

I will however not leave this wonderful hobby, but I need to pace myself. My South African Airways Connie livery is slowly taking shape.

You will still see me around, but not as actively as in the past.
Regards

I think we've all been there a time or two. The important thing is to recognize it before a person ruins the hobby for themselves. I for one greatly appreciate the work you've done, ebo and I hope your down time is restful.

Take your time man! Your 'priority' with flight sim is to have fun. If it ain't fun, then it ain't worth doing. I'm in the midst of creating a fleet of repaints with a particular theme I've had in mind. But even with that big project I have to stop painting, and get to flying. Between the Connie, 747, 777, and the rest of the Accusim birds, there are so many planes and places to fly, yet so little time lol. Do the paints when you want to, and the paints will end up looking better as a result.

Cheers

I often take weeks off at a time from Flight Simming, but without fail always come back after that refreshed and invigorated again, have a few different hobbys and its good to balance time between them.

Works for me.

+1 So true.
Thanks for all your work ebo. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope to see you at "full throttle" pretty soon.

Hike the Drakensberg in the interim. I traveled halfway around the world from the USA just to do it. :)

Enjoy some flying rather than painting, or even some other games. I've found having a wide variety of gaming entertainment helps keep burn out on one genre at bay :)
