Quick Guide to Avoiding Creator Burnout

1. Set Boundaries, Like Seriously

• IRL vs. URL: Keep a clear line between your online hustle and offline time. Put your phone on Do Not Disturb or Airplane mode when you're chilling.

• Social Detox Days: It's okay to take a day (or two) off. Your followers won’t forget you, and you'll come back stronger.

2. Quality > Quantity (Always)

8. Be Real with Your Audience

• If you're feeling overwhelmed, let your followers know. Authenticity is key, and they'll appreciate you even more for being real about your struggles.

9. Celebrate Small Wins

• Every like, comment, and DM is a win. Appreciate the growth, no matter how small. Burnout comes when you stop celebrating yourself.

10. Stay Inspired

• Follow creators that motivate you, binge-watch something different, or step away from the screen to fin
