Copywriter dies after working for 30 hours straight

i feel bad for people who can't balance work with life.

Particularly stupid for a copywriter to go this way - if there's one thing that fucks teh quality of creative writing, it's tiredness (witout drugs.. and that's just if you're freestylin' that shit, yo)

then at the end, all your hard work gets diluted by people who shouldn't even have any creative input anyway, handing diluted shit work over to clients.
Heres your shit website client, now give us our $500,000.00 so we can give $10,000 of that to the creative and developer who actually did all the work.
MAN, we gotz 7000 employes who dont contribute shit to feed.

I've been consciously prioritizing rest, relaxation and sleep for the past few weeks because I noticed how tired and stressed I was becoming. I thought working more would make me more successful but it was just making me miserable and the quality and productivity of my work was actually diminishing. Its waaaay better to let yourself chill out when you need it. Every single professional should make sleep and relaxation a priority no matter how busy you are.
- even with kids and regular life stuff can be a lot to deal with but consider that your down time. its not work.uuuuuu

Also there are so many better ways to stay energized minus those fucking energy drinks and caffeine. eat lots of fruit and veggies, go for a walk, water, eat low fat/ low sugar foods regularly throughout the day, I'm afraid to say it but...a vitamin supplement with a meal. The B vitamins are in like every energy drink so just take a B complex occasionally, you'll be amazed.
- green tea is amazing in the evening. nothing wrong with coffee really just drink fresh water with it.uuuuuu
