Projects come and projects go. As a woodworker sometimes repetition happens. Every piece can’t be a custom commission or have wildly different specifications, sizes or species of wood. How can you combat stagnation when projects sometimes become repetitive?
Burnout happens to nearly everyone at some point. Being a woodworking and tackling projects at a slower pace still isn’t immune to this simple truth. How can you combat this? What’s ideal for reducing or recovering from burnout?
