I always have trouble burning myself out because of perfectionism too. I'll enter these extremely manic modes where I spew out creativity but then I'm bone-dry for the next few weeks because I completely exhausted myself. I've found it's helpful to have small, obtainable goals for daily tasks like: "today I'll finish coloring the walking sprite for this character and edit the dialogue for the cutscene where they meet the cat" and be as specific as possible.
I believe in you! You've got this. <3
Thank you for your kind words Bubbly!
So far, daily goal setting is very helpful for me, I've knocked out a lot more than I would have otherwise. My trouble is the other end where I assign too much in a day and am way too harsh on myself when I can't get everything done. It's a fine balance! I'm working on tactics to not let perfectionism stifle me. Thanks for sharing your strategies and experience with managing this, it's comforting to hear :)
