Started back up recently, feeling overflowed with inspiration, but I don’t wanna burn out.

I used to do YouTube a while ago, and I’ve been streaming on and off for the past couple of years, but lately I decided I really wanna try to get into content creation. My goal isn’t really to blow up, like I don’t wanna be the next Markiplier. I just enjoy making content, having a voice, and interacting with people.

I also do have fun editing, streaming, recording, playing video games, and yapping, so it’s just a fun hobby fr. Right now it is 2 in the morning and I know I should sleep, but I feel so inspired to open my laptop and start editing another one of my twitch VODS, or something productive. I’ve always had an unhealthy relationship with sleep, whenever I want to do something I find it harder to sleep bc all I can think about is the thing I want to do.

The only problem is I don’t wanna over work myself and burn out. I don’t want to stop enjoying this, but I know if I start giving up sleep and dedicate all my free time I could easily burn myself out, so I don’t know what to do bc I’m struggling to sleep thinking about all the stuff I could be doing instead, and if I don’t sleep tn I won’t have a lot of time tomorrow to stream or edit, so I was really thinking about just pulling an all nighter, but then I’ll be low energy and miserable tomorrow so idk.

I guess my question is, do you guys ever feel over inspired, and should I hop on that inspiration now and see where it takes me, or is there a way I can distract myself from it and successfully put it off until tomorrow?

I’m also trying to separate editing and streaming days, but they’re kind of bleeding into each other bc again, I just don’t wanna stop working. I’m just scared I’m gonna burn myself out fast and I don’t wanna do that.
