Time for Life

[Last Known Hero]

Sooo.. Time for life. I've taken the very stressful look into a lot of stuff. I'm going to be applying for visual effects and 3d modeling for production at a college a few hours from my house.. taken on a freelance job that I am charging way too little for what I'm doing, and applying for regular jobs to get some money. Girlfriend is taking up a lot of time, not that its a bad thing at all. Have to get my 3D resume typed and sent into the college along with the application, then I have to have 6-8 pieces of art ready for presenting my portfolio at an interview at the college... I'm stressed, I need way more hours in a day. Did i mentioned that the freelance job I am doing I am practically slaving myself out? Yes? well its worth the second mention.

Anything to make me feel better or ideas?

I'm in a similar situation. My business has been technically established for a little over a year, and the last few months were so rocky that a few days ago we had a discussion about dissolving the company (even though we really have no assets). We got over that, but we are at a place that we basically need to start from scratch, and figure out our short term and long term goals again, as a company.

I accepted an overload of freelance work too, as we are so short on finances that we can barely cover the 100$ a month for our office. I have two personal projects, as well as some open source stuff to do (including that GDD Organizer I started). Alongside that all the freelance work gets pretty heavy on me, though the extra money will help.

My business partner is just as stressed. He barely has time to devote to the company, as he's going through some personal stuff, as well as working and going to school full time.

Anyway I hope it makes you feel better to know others are just as stressed! It gets better, trust me!

Welcome to life . I've got a girl pregnant.. My girlfriend broke up with me because of it. Thing is.. All you need to do is put a big smile on your face and say, "I'll get through it". Another thing I'd advise is you watch "The Secret". Even if you can't understand it or don't believe in this stuff.. It's better to, because then you feel like you still have a chance to get through the rough stuff. And there's always good things in life anyway. Problem is we focus on the negatives way too much.

PIMP!!!

Yeah, just enjoy doing what you do and it will all pay off. I am always stressed about things that if I did not become so spoiled in the first place I would be care free. Like my current situation. I have a sweet job that pays well but I am stressing over a another position in the same company that I applied for. It pays more but is more responsibility. I get all stressed get angry blah blah...but why? If i don't get the other position I still got a sweet job!

I stress over my current projects....why? They are fun no matter what. Sure I have not officially released a game, but I do have fun learning new things.
Have fun, enjoy the girl, make me some models for my new project
