It was never part of the plan to go silent for 6 months on the back-half of 2023, but the work happening at MOUTHWASH Studio had other plans for Alice and I. I’ve been writing this project on and off for over 3.5 years and this is about the time where we publish something like: “This is the year that we don’t miss a single weekly briefing!”
"When goals are being met, ideas are clicking, and projects are growing, it’s hard to put it down. We make time for the things we love. Working on the right thing is easy, energizing, and rewarding.
On the other hand, when we’re forcing the agenda or finding difficulty making progress, we’re quick to burn out. Working on the wrong thing is unenjoyable and tiring. Even if we want it to be the right thing, it just might not be working.
Avoiding burnout is not about working less, but rather, spending more time with the right things and less with the wrong ones."

This hits home for me big time, thanks for this!
