Why does taking a break matter?

When I started writing online, I was excited and motivated. I could have written all day long without feeling exhausted or empty.

But my motivation dropped as my creative process stabilized, and I became better and more quality-focused.

At first, I thought I didn’t like writing as much as I imagined. So I abandoned it for a couple of months. But then I felt the need to write again. And I understood I left because of a lack of breaks.

Taking a break is sometimes necessary, mainly if you work in the side hustle and content creation field where creativity means everything.
