WEEK 19 – Burnout and Falling Behind

3RD FEBRUARY – 10TH FEBRUARY

Coming back from Paris, I was completely drained—mentally and physically. After pushing myself for almost a week of nonstop shooting and editing during Fashion Week, I didn’t give myself any proper time to rest. Not surprisingly, I ended up getting sick and was out for nearly two weeks.

That break, while necessary, caused a lot of chaos in my schedule. I fell behind on multiple deadlines, had to postpone several projects, and couldn’t keep up with the usual pace of content output. It felt like everything was happening at once, and I didn’t have the energy to catch up. I was constantly stressed, feeling like I wasn’t doing enough or letting people down.

Looking back, I know a big part of this was trying to take on too much by myself. I didn’t want to ask for help or slow down, because I felt like that would mean I was failing. But now I know it’s the opposite. Learning when to pause or delegate is just as important as being reliable and hardworking.
