it's not good for your mental health

@eniko @minego I was gonna say over a 6 month period, but I like the buffer time!

@catsalad @minego gotta take lil breaks every now and then, yanno?

@eniko @catsalad and, if you don't try to cram 3 months of work into 1 regularly, then it is easy for those breaks to not turn into months of nothing.

@eniko @catsalad Well, it's a little late for that!

(Being serious for a moment though, that is really good advice, and I try to remind myself of it frequently)

@minego @catsalad yeah, i have very recently hurt myself doing this so it's definitely coming from lived experience >_>

@eniko @catsalad It is a hard lesson to accept. I think it is an easy lesson to learn, but knowing it and accepting it aren't the same thing. Hopefully we can all do better in the future.
