Knowing when to stop

So lately I’ve become crazy busy with everything I’m doing on the web. Don’t get me wrong- I couldn’t be happier. I’m literally walking around saying “Thank you” in my head as often as I can, because being able to do something I enjoy so much, which never feels like work, really is a blessing. My challenge is the amount of things I’m learning at one time- and as much as I am a self proclaimed information junkie, sometimes you need to know when to stop what it is you’re doing and move on to something else.

I picked up Adobe Photoshop last week- the real deal! I had started with Elements, but realized I needed the full version to be able to work with most of the web graphics I’m dealing with. I am fortunate enough that one of my ‘web’ guys has spent a couple of hours on photoshop with me and I’m getting much more comfortable- or so I thought. Two hours later and a heated wrap on my neck…..I’ve decided it’s time to switch to something else. I got quite a bit done, but know that if I keep working on the same thing, not only will I get way more frustrated, but I’ll lose the rest of the day!

Naturally, I came back here. I have plenty of work to do on this site, and as much as I love learning the graphics side of all this, there’s so much more to do. I have a couple of other projects to work on in Photoshop, which shouldn’t create the issue I had with the last. I think I’ll give it another shot after I finish up here…..we’ll see how long it lasts.
