I feel like a lot of my fellow producer friends are getting absolutely destroyed with their workload this summer (myself included). How are you guys surviving?

I dream of quitting sometimes. Workout every day first thing before I start working if possible. It’s really fucked up how I’ve been working 60 hour weeks for 6 months. I got shingles, tension headaches and vertigo from the stress. I’m 31!

this was me 2 years ago (also at 31 funny enough). Say no. set boundaries. You don't deserve this.

I survive by looking forward to my vacations this fall/winter 😵‍💫

I’m looking for more production work

Interesting. I have been freelancing/temping for 10 months at 1 company, and last 3 weeks have been uber slow. Sucks because I took on as an hourly, on the other hand they will not look to unload me because of overhead.

I like being busy.

I've had a shockingly comfortable summer. Busy, but not like crazy busy. I'm in a new role this summer though so that may be part of it.
