Hi Saxon!
Is that your real name? Because it's a pretty sweet name. Thanks so much for your kind words, it's highly appreciated (:
For the first question, I hope you're ok with me copying this from above:
This usually helps me to stay inspired, stay fresh and keep myself busy. Of course, depending on the problems you are solving on a particular project, I sometimes force myself to stick with it for a little longer. But then again, if you're stuck and you have other projects sitting around, why not rotate when you can? (:
I love working and make no difference between job/life. It's all one thing, of course balanced out as good as I can. But I don't see work & enjoyment as two opposites. (I think we, most of us here, are lucky to have the opportunity to see it that way)
The moment I finish something, the moment I slow down, I can almost feel this big black hole of laziness eating me up. Then I start running again, and things are fine.
PS: I also wrote this article about "The Inspiration Lie" a while ago which you might enjoy reading.
Yay, Tobias

Thanks for taking the time Tobias. Your work is a huge inspiration to many people within the design community, myself included.
My question is around time management and motiviation. How do you manage/split your time across your many different side projects + day job + life? How do you consistently stay motivated and inspired?
Thanks!
