Burn't out...

I've been burning the candle. Working a 9-6 (design) job and freelancing till late a night.
Thing is, I want to leave my fulltime job as it's shite. Been here too long and the rot has set in. Despite the market being as bad as it is I'm up for the challenge. Only thing is my online portfolio is very out of date. It really needs revamping but I'm too burn't out to start the project so I'm thinking of not bothering.
Who thinks it's possible to move on without one? Do you think it's really important to have an 'all singing, all dancing' online portfolio? Or could I get away with a one-page list of links (well designed of course!).
Appreciate your advice.

I'd quit the day job, rest for a few days, then work on portfolio site while continuing/increasing freelance work

... or ask someone you trust, design wise, to design your site for you.

Would love to fire out the links but they're not live yet. I've been working on two sites and they are all buried in a 'dev' folder awating final client tweaks.
Last one I did that went live was: http://www.accomodationforstuden… but that was over a year ago. My old site is: www.hutchhouse.com but I ain't liking it anymore.
Like I said, I've doing the 9-6 so the freelance has been thin (until late). The latest site I've been doing is a funk45 review site. Should be up soon. And I'm happy with it.
My 9-5 is designing idTV.

what i will say in your case is : try to do a simple page .. you know .. just very simple sharp html with a nice css.. some previews of the work you have done and contact info .. thats all..
i think more and more that it's the right thing to do when you don't have time or motivation for a big portfolio, and certainly better than something heavy that you'll never finish.. and also if you want to upadte a simple layout is so much better..

I hear ya SamDam, that's what I'm thinking. I just gotta get out of this corporate thing...
...and probably sell out to another!
